|
|
Does My Accounts use cookies?
Yes. If you do not have cookies enabled on
your computer, you will not be able to use all of the My Accounts
functionality. A cookie is simply a text file that indicates your My
Personal ID or session identification number. We use this cookie to
identify existing users of the service when they enter the Web site, so
that we are able to pre-fill your My Personal ID and provide a start page
optimized for you. We also use a cookie to maintain session information
for logged-in users, to prevent the need for re-entry of login information
when browsing the site.

|
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your
machine that are sent to the Web server that created them when you visit a
page on the server. My Accounts uses cookies for two purposes:
-
To remember your My
Personal ID so it can be pre-filled in the form
for sign in when you visit the site
-
To remember your session ID, which we use to track your individual
user information while you're logged in so you can move through the My
Accounts site more easily
Cookies are required for using the
service -- without them, we can't deliver your user information
effectively.
To enable cookies in Netscape first select "Edit" from
your toolbar, then select in this order: Preferences, Advanced, then
select either "Accept all cookies" or "Accept only cookies that get sent
back to originating server."
To enable cookies in Internet
Explorer, first select "Tools" from your toolbar, then select in this
order: Internet Options, Security, Custom Level then scroll down to
Cookies and select "Enable."
|
|
Is there a way to let my browser accept cookies only from My Accounts,
and not unsolicited others? Yes, there is:
In Internet Explorer
- Click on Tools / Internet Options / Security.
- Click on the Internet icon and choose "Custom Level."
- Scroll down the Cookies options and select "Disable" to allow
cookies that are stored on your computer and allow permission cookies.
Hit OK.
- Click on the Trusted Sites icon and then the Custom level button.
- Select the Cookies options, and select. Enable for both cookie
options. Hit OK.
- Click on the Sites button. Add My Accounts to the zone. Hit OK.
- Hit OK to dismiss the options dialog.

server."

What is JavaScript and what is it used for on My Accounts?
JavaScript is a scripting language that is
used for enabling many of the advanced features on the My Accounts site,
such as Auto-Login and pre-filling My Accounts IDs. Some of the
JavaScript features we use require support for the Document Object
Model, which is only supported in the most recent versions of the major
browsers (Netscape 4 and later, Internet Explorer 4 and later). Because
of this, we highly recommend the use of Netscape or Internet Explorer 4
or greater to fully utilize the features of My Accounts.
If you have JavaScript disabled in your Web browser, you should enable
it before using My Accounts. In Netscape, this setting is located under
Preferences by clicking on "Advanced." In Internet Explorer, this
setting is located under the Internet Options, under the Security tab
(you can select "Custom Level" to access the option to enable "Active
Scripting" without modifying the rest of your security settings).
|
|
Does My
Accounts support the Macintosh platform?
My Accounts currently requires a browser
that supports SSL (at least 40 bit), JavaScript 1.2, and cookies in order
to use all the features available. We recommend using an officially
supported browser, such as Netscape 4.0 or greater, or Internet Explorer
4.0 or later with 128-bit encryption. My Accounts does not currently
support Microsoft Internet Explorer on the Macintosh. We are working hard
to support all major browsers. |
