we store in the cookie ever be read by any Web site other than ours. An example
of how cookies are used: When you conduct a search for hotels in Orlando, a cookie
will be set recording the city of Orlando as the parameter of your search. When
you return to the search form to narrow or change your search, Orlando will automatically
be entered into the city field in the search form. Please note that with most
