We would have saved some data for you, safely on your own computer, but you have blocked us from storing anything, even secure first-party cookies -- the only kind we use, the same kind your bank requires you to enable. Furthermore, we only store things that:

optimize your use of the site
help us understand how this site is used, so we can put our efforts in the right places

When using any form of browser-based storage, we never persist any sensitive or identifying information on your computer, or track your use of other sites, or particpate in or store anything of interest to ad targeting campaigns or any form of surveillance. Even if you were hacked, you needn't worry about that with us.

To the small extent that we use them at all, we use cookies that: can only be written or read by us, are only transmitted inside an industry-standard encrypted tunnel, and are not accessible to javascript -- not even ours. To the small extent that we use any other form of web storage, we only store information to improve your experience on the site. We never store anything personal or identifying.

Over 95% of people using the web have first-party cookies enabled. It is doubtful you could use any site in the world with your medical or financial information, or any site that requries you to log in, without enabling first-party cookies.

By contrast, third-party cookies are a bad idea. You should block these. Each browser has its own way of letting you do this. If you don't know how to to that in yours, do a web search for "block third-party cookies on B", substituting your browser's name for "B".

Note: If you go to a site that sells shoes, for example, you might suddenly see ads for shoes showing up alongside your Google searches, in your Facebook feed, and so on. They have made note (or purchased from someone who made note) of what web pages you have visited. This cannot be stopped unless you take steps beyond what we can cover here. But, if the sites you visit are using the kind of security practices we are, the snooping can't go any deeper than that.

If you had first-party cookies disabled and then enabled them, you might have to leave and re-visit a page to allow it to use them.
