Preference
Preference may refer to any of the following:
1. In general, a preference is an option or setting that is preferred. For example, someone may have a preference for using a PC over an Apple computer.
2. With a service or computer software, Preferences are options or a setting that allow users to configure the product works. For example, a program may allow users to set the preference to how they want the layout of a program to display. The preferences section may also have more advanced options, labeled as Advanced Preferences or Product Preferences.
Preferences is synonymous with Settings and Options and may even be a category of one of these sections.
