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 SBSC pages, or register with SBSC site or services, a cookie helps SBSC to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.

When you return to the same SBSC website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SBSC features that you customized.
