One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Western Spirits web pages, or register with Western Spirits site or services, a cookie helps Western Spirits to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
