Use of Cookies
|
| |
| Certain sections of the UWA web site use "cookies" to store user information. A cookie is a small string
of text that a web site can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard
drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your email address. Currently, web sites use cookies to
enhance the user's visit; in general, cookies can securely store a user's ID and password, personalize
home pages, or identify which parts of a site have been visited. Cookies help us understand which
parts of our web sites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend
there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site so we can make the site even better.

Cookies were originally designed to help a web site distinguish a user's browser as a previous visitor
and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site.
If you are just browsing UWSWLA's web site, a cookie identifies only your browser. If you become a
registered user on a UWSWLA web site (with a user ID and password), we may use cookies so that we can
provide personalized information that we believe will be of value to you based on preferences you have
indicated while visiting the site. It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is
being placed - this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. If you are
just browsing our site and are not a registered user, you do not have to accept a cookie and you can
still continue browsing the site. However, if you are visiting a site where you will be accessing a
confidential account, you must accept that site's cookies because they are essential for site
administration and security.
