The cookie does not extract other information about you, such as your name or address. Most browsers provide a simple procedure that will enable you to control whether you want to receive cookies by notifying you when a website is about to deposit a cookie file.
On some pages of the Suffolk Imaging website there may also be use of action tags, sometimes referred to as web beacons or 1×1 pixel graphics interchange format (“GIF”) images.
