A cookie is a piece of information from a website that is stored in your web browser's 'cookie' settings.
On beingu.com this information allows you to browse between 'secure' pages when you are 'logged in'. When you log in, a unique, random code is generated by beingu.com and sent to your web browser to be stored as a 'cookie'.
Whenever you go to a new page on this site the web browser sends that code back to our server so we know it is still Your browser that is accessing the page. If no cookie is sent to us with the page request, the server has to assume it is a non-logged-in user trying to access the page, and will generate an error message OR 'Access Denied' (unless the page is available to everyone).
This security is obviously important when visiting a page such as your order history or user account settings.
