A cookie is a very tiny piece of text we're asking permission to place on your computer's hard drive. If you agree by configuring your browser to accept cookies, then your browser adds the text in a small file. On most browsers, the default settings enable you to accept cookies, so if you haven't changed your defaults, you most likely don't have to do anything to ensure that your browser accepts cookies.

TigerDirect.com uses cookies to keep track of the items in your shopping cart and to enable us to present you with customized content. But we aren't the only web site that uses cookies.
