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 AmeriLife pages, or register with the AmeriLife site or services, a cookie helps AmeriLife to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information. When you return to the same AmeriLife website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the AmeriLife features that you customized.
