Use of Cookies - Certain CTB webpages use "cookies" which are small amounts of information stored by your web browser software on your computer. In most cases, this information is temporary in nature (called "session" or "volatile" cookies) and is deleted as soon as you leave the web site. The use of temporary cookies is solely for the purpose of allowing the user to interact with the web site in a more effective manner. In a few cases, the web site uses cookies to store information for a longer period than the current session ("persistent " cookie). In those cases, the web page is clearly noted and the user can choose not to use that web page feature. As noted above, in no case does the Community Tool Box development team disclose, give, sell, or transfer any personal information about web site visitors unless required for law enforcement or otherwise required by law.
