What is a cookie and where does it come from?

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer for the purpose of identifying your web browser to a website or network. Cookies are placed on your computer when you visit or register with certain websites. A cookie file is extremely small, usually less than 1kb in size. Cookies are not software and thus cannot install adware or spyware onto your computer or make it more susceptible to viruses.

Why does Farming Resource Center use cookies?

Cookies help to enable certain functions on websites, such as shopping carts, login-based sessions, and advertising. Farming Resource Center uses cookies to improve your web browsing experience and to provide advertisements on our sites, other websites and other forms of media about goods and services that may be of interest to you. For visitors to Farming Resource Center's owned or affiliated publisher's properties, Farming Resource Center may assign a unique random number to your computer browser - commonly known as a cookie. We do this to understand the way a user responds to the ads we deliver. For example, this number lets us keep track of how many times you view an ad we distribute. Likewise, the cookie can help make sure you do not see the same ad over and over - thus enhancing your online web viewing experience. Sales spider may also assign a third parties cookie to your browser. Advertisers that utilize these cookies include, but are not limited to, clients of Farming Resource Center and clients of Sales Spider's partners, which include demand side platforms, data management platforms, and trading desks.

Delete the cookies you don't need, and do a periodic check every couple of months to weed out your cookie folder.

For more information: the World Privacy Forum published a report about various kinds of online tracking cookies as part of its testimony about behavioral advertising to the Federal Trade Commission. That report discusses opt out cookies (see below), and it also discusses rarer kinds of cookies such as Flash Cookies, Silverlight Cookies, and others. The report is located here: http://worldprivacyforum.org/pdf/WPF_NAI_report_Nov2_2007fs.pdf.

To Opt-out of Online Behavioral Advertising

We are committed to transparency and choice. A person can opt-out of all behavioral advertising by using the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out tools. The NAI opt-out tool reports which member companies have placed a cookie that can be used for Interest-Based Advertising on your browser by checking for the presence of such cookies and reporting back whether it found any "active" cookies. The NAI opt-out tool also allows you to set cookies that will tell NAI members you do not want to participate in Interest-Based Advertising. The tool does not delete individual cookies nor does it necessarily replace other cookies delivered by NAI companies, such as those that are used for ad reporting or ad serving purposes that, for example, allow advertisers to change the sequence of ads, as well as to track the number of ads delivered.
