What is a Cookie?

A cookie is either a small text file that is stored on your hard drive, or some information that is stored in memory until you close your browser. Liaison LLC  may save information on your system in the form of a cookie to allow: a personalized browsing experience, access to a secure implementation, or to better track usage of our web sites.

There is some concern that cookies can access and read other areas of your hard drive, or that personal information about you can be read by the web site. Web pages that write and read cookies can only interact with the cookie file(s) for your browser and a cookie can only be accessed by the same domain server that sent it.

What's its purpose?

Some of our sites may allow you to register or choose personalization options so we can dynamically direct you to information on the web pages that suit your interest. By using a cookie, our site can automatically read your preferences and customize the pages without any action on your part.

Other areas of our sites may require you to login. In this case your username may be stored in a cookie, so we can fill in the username field for you on subsequent visits, however we won't store your password in a cookie. Once you login you may be sent several cookies that will be stored in memory only. If you do not choose to accept these cookies, your access to any of the secured pages on our sites may be restricted.

How does it help me?

Some of our statistics programs will issue you a cookie when you first come to our site and then use that information to allow us to gather more detailed information about activity on our site. Instead of using an arbitrary amount of inactivity time to signal the end of a visit, activity from the same cookie is considered a visit. We cannot determine your name, or other personal information from the statistics cookies. It does provide us with much better information about which areas of our sites are popular or not so popular, navigation routes etc. This information together with other customer feedback is used to help us prioritize our development efforts and continuously improve our web sites to meet your needs.

Liaison LLC  recognizes our user's privacy concerns and will only use cookies as an enabling tool. You may choose to reject cookies either outright, or on a case-by-case basis using the instructions for your browser below. However, in a few cases this may cause the web site to function incorrectly, or nor at all.
