Cookies and Web Beacons
Cookies:A cookie is a small data string that is written on your computer hard drive by a Web server. (A Web server is the computer that "hosts" a Web site and responds to requests received from your computer.) This data string contains a unique user ID which allows Verizon or its vendors to customize your experiences on our sites. For example, cookies allow us to deliver advertising and other content specific to your interests, keep track of your online ordering and alert you to new products or promotional opportunities based on your current services. Cookies are an integral piece of the Web's technical infrastructure because they enable a Web site to maintain information when a user's Web browser requests a series of Web pages. Without cookies, for example, a Web site owner would not recognize that a user just completed the first step in a given online ordering process so that the second step can be presented. Cookies facilitate a coherent, contextual, and customized Internet session. Information gathered from cookies also helps the Web site owner know how the site is performing and provides information to support customizing and improving the site and its messages and advertisements. Web Beacons: Third-party advertisers also may use a technology called Web beacons to measure the effectiveness of ads. Some Verizon Web pages contain web beacons in the form of clear .gif files, which are electronic images that allow a third-party to collect anonymous information about your visits to our site. This anonymous information is used to provide advertisements about products and services of potential interest to you. No personally identifiable information is collected during this process. How to Delete or Disable Cookies
You may choose to change your browser settings to disable cookies. Please be aware that cookies may be required to complete certain functions on Verizon sites and on other Web sites, such as ordering products and services online. To remove cookies from your browser simply choose from the list below and click on the name of the browser you use to access the Internet to find the appropriate instructions.
