This is standard practice for Web sites, and is not used for any purpose other than to evaluate how we can design the site to best serve your needs.

In order to provide better and more secure service we will use a "Cookie."

GLOSSARY

Cookie: A small data file that is stored on the hard drive of the computer you use to view a Web site. Cookies are placed by that site or by a third party with a presence on the site, and are accessible only by the party or site that placed the Cookie (i.e. a Cookie placed on your computer by POGA isn't accessed by any other site you visit).

Cookies can contain pieces of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). These Cookies often are used to make the site easier to use. For example, if you check a box to ask that XYZ site stores your user name on your computer so that you don't have to enter it each time you visit the site, it's stored in a Cookie on your computer.

Non-personal information: Information that is not traceable back to any individual and cannot be used to identify an individual.

Personally identifiable information (PII): (also called Personal Information): Information that can be traced back to an individual (contrast with Non-Personal Information). Examples of PII include your name, home address, telephone number, email address, and Social Security number.

Virus: A program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses can also "replicate" themselves by copying their code to other computers. All computer viruses are manmade. A simple virus that can make a copy of itself over and over again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and bypassing security systems. There are numerous virus protection programs available.
