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 Crown Financial Ministries pages, or register with Crown Financial Ministries site or services, a cookie helps Crown Financial Ministries to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Crown Financial Ministries Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Crown Financial Ministries features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer.
