Among other things, cookies provide a means for Charter First to keep track of your online patterns and preferences. By understanding which areas of the site you visit, cookies allow Charter First to present information, products and services that are of personal interest. A cookie will not allow Charter First to learn any personal information (such as your real name and address) that you have not otherwise disclosed. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can change your browser so that it will not automatically accept cookies. However, if you do so, it is possible that some portions of the site may not function as intended.
