Use of Cookies

Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Winners Circle Project pages, or register with the Winners Circle Project site or services, a cookie helps Winners Circle Project to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your Personal Information. When you return to the same Winners Circle Project website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use Winners Circle Project features that you customized.
