Tell me about cookies and how Realwire uses them
Cookies are small files that store information, used by most websites. They store information about visitors, from remembering their username and profile information to tracking their browsing habits to show targeted advertising. Assuming your browser is up-to-date, they cannot run any kind of program. For more information see this Wikipedia article.
If you opt in, this site will use cookies to remember you when you enter one of our members' areas. We use them to store things like release information when submitting a release, which means you won't have to re-enter your data if you lose connection or accidentally close your browser. We also use Google Analytics to see how visitors use our site, and how we can make it better. We don't track your browsing for advertising purposes, sell the information we gather, or use any kind of advertising within the site itself.
