Remember me on this computer
You can save the trouble of re-entering your email address and password every time you log in by checking the "Remember me on this computer" option in the Log in page. This function sets a cookie that stores your user name. It will only work on that specific computer, and will only work if your browser is set to allow cookies. We do not suggest using this function on public computers.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data sent by our website to your computer, so that information related to the website can be remembered. No other site can read the cookie, and no sensitive information is stored anyway (only your username, not your password, is stored).
Remember: The "Remember me" feature would only work if cookies are enabled in your browser. Cookie enabling is different for different browsers, and you can find cookie-enabling instructions for all major browsers on the Internet.
