Except as outlined in the Security section at the bottom of this document, we do not track or look at individuals' usage behavior. There are two kinds of cookies. Because a session cookie is never written to a drive, it is destroyed as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie is a more permanent line of text that gets saved by your browser to a file on your hard drive. If you have your browser set to notify you before accepting cookies, the notice will tell you if the cookie expires some time in the future or not.
Persistent cookies have an expiration date in the future.
Session cookies have no date associated with them. We use only session cookies. We may also forward your E-mail to other Government employees, who are better able to answer your questions. We want to make it clear that we will not obtain personally identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, or as otherwise required by law, we do not share any information we receive with any outside parties.
