If you want to avoid cookies

To avoid cookies, your browser must be set to deny cookies or to ask each time a web site tries to place a cookie in your computer. In the web browser, you can also choose to erase the cookies generated up until that point, but it means your personal settings will be lost. See your web browser’s help pages for more information.
