Are “Cookies” used on the website?
“Cookies” are small pieces of information that are placed on a web user’s hard drive. We may use cookies to provide you with better service. Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies can make the web site more useful by storing information about your preferences for a particular web site. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and many web sites use them to provide useful features for their customers. Cookies do not necessarily identify users, although they do identify a user’s computer and/or IP address. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to refuse cookies. However, you may not be able to take full advantage of the functionality of the Gift of Life International website if you do so.
We do not track our users across time or across websites. We do not use flash cookies.
How is personal information safeguarded?
Gift of Life International utilizes commercially reasonable methods and mechanisms such as firewalls, intrusion monitoring, and passwords to protect electronic information. Physical security methods such as locking devices and 24 hour premise monitoring are also employed. Finally, access to PI is limited to personnel with a need-to-know basis. Nonetheless, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of data sent to us electronically on our website, and transmission of such data is therefore entirely at your own risk.
