For example, if you personalize LCH Health and Community Services pages, or register with LCH Health and Community Services site or services, a cookie helps LCH Health and Community Services 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. When you return to the same LCH Health and Community Services website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the LCH Health and Community Services features that you customized.
