Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. I have, however, seen a number of people lose stuff off the back of their bicycles using alternative, non-elastic methods of securing their loads.
