OHFLAC uses session cookies when individuals access this site. We do not use persistent cookies.

A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser when you access a site. There are two kinds of cookies, session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your computer’s memory. Because a session cookie is never saved, it is erased from the memory of your computer 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.

OHFLAC has set our software so that your browser will only return cookie information to the domain where the cookie originated. No other site can request this information.

Certain applications on the www.wvdhhr.org/ohflac/ Web site require session cookies to function correctly. If you have session cookies disabled, you may not be able to use these applications or features of the sites.
