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 Hampton Roads Church pages, or register with Hampton Roads Church site or services, a cookie helps Hampton Roads Church 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 Hampton Roads Church website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Hampton Roads Church features that you customized.
