the IP address of the computer at the time the user navigates the site;
the password the user has set for the site, so that the user doesn't have

As cookies are data files, not code, they cannot erase or read information
from a computer's hard drive or from other sites the computer user visits.

where our visitors come from, which pages they visit,
how much time they spend on the site, etc. No personal information is stored in the cookies.

to enhance the functionality of our site.
