computer's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if
your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser

Q: What is my security code?
A: It is an important new Internet security feature that now appears on the
back of most Visa and Master Cards, and on the front of American Express cards.
This new code is a three or four-digit number which provides a cryptographic
check of the information embossed on the card.
The security code helps validate that the customer placing the online order
actually has the credit card in his/her possession, and that the credit/debit
card account is legitimate.

security code.

Q: How does my security code
protect me?
A: The security code is only printed the card and it is not contained in the
magnetic stripe information nor does it appear on sales receipts or billing
statements - you must have the card in your possession in order to use this
code. Card Security Codes are not raised, so they are not scanned into standard
credit card readers. In theory, these numbers are only visible to you. When you
give your Card Security Code to a merchant, you assist the merchant in
verifying that the order is being placed by you, the card holder.
Top
Q: Do I have to enter my
security code?
A: If this code is printed on your card, YES, you must enter the code. Visa,
Master Card, and American Express now require Internet stores to obtain the
security code for all cards that have a code printed on them. In order for this
transaction to be accepted and processed, you must enter this code if it's
printed on your card. This is done for your protection.
