Use of Cookies
The OCDPA web site and the affiliated projects' web sites use cookies to track general user trends and patterns.
A cookie is a small piece of information that a web site stores on your computer. It is retrieved automatically whenever you return and some of its contents are stored in log files that are then used to generate periodic statistical reports. These reports help us to evaluate and improve our web sites by tracking global indicators such as the total number of visitors, total pages viewed, most popular documents retrieved, etc.
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to alert you when one is being sent. However, some parts of the OCDPA web site may not work properly if you choose not to accept cookies. For additional information on cookies, see the Help instructions on your browser.
