Our General Policy
|
| |
| UWSWLA recognizes the importance of protecting information we may collect
from visitors to our site. Our policy is to use the information we acquire
from visitors to our sites for internal purposes only, and we maintain appropriate
security measures to keep this information private. |
| |
| Users can visit the site without revealing any information about themselves.
If one chooses to give us personal information via the Internet for the
purposes of correspondence, then it is our intent to let you know how we
will use such information. |

| If users tell us that they do not wish to have this information used
as a basis for further contact, we will respect those wishes. |

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. |
