For example, if you personalize Phoenix Children's Hospital pages, or register with Phoenix Children's Hospital site or services, a cookie helps Phoenix Children's Hospital to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on.
