Each RidgeStar Interactive Site
is designed for easy, repetitive usage by end users. Cookies help to enable this ease by "saving" particular information on the user's system about Site sessions. For example, a cookie automatically reloads your SiteName from your system when you return to the Logon function. This allows you to quickly Logon without re-entering your name.
- What if I disable Cookies?
- The Site will still interact with you. However, it will NOT be able to "remember" your name the next time you return to the site. If you completely disable Cookies, it's likely that you will be unable to identify yourself to the Site and, thus, render it impossible to interact with the Site as yourself and will not have access to any of the Site's Private pages (if any).
- What exactly is in the Cookie?
- The Cookie contains the last SiteName you used to logon to the site (usually, your First, Middle, and Last name). The Cookie does NOT "collect" any information about you or execute any code on your system (all script execution occurs within the RidgeStar Server).
- When is the Cookie written?
- The Cookie is stored on your system when you successfully complete the Logon activity. After 30 days of inactivity, it is automatically deleted from your system by your system (the Site itself never deletes anything on your system).
You can delete any RidgeStar Cookie at any time. Again, the only impact will be the requirement to provide your SiteName at the next Logon.
