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 The Balanced Woman pages, or register with The Balanced Woman site or services, a cookie helps The Balanced Woman to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.  This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, and so on.  When you return to the same The Balanced Woman website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved so you can easily use the The Balanced Woman features that you customized.
