This facility provides security 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
What are "Cookies"?
Cookies are small files sent from a web server to your computer through your browser program. There are two types of cookies: non-persistent and persistent cookies.
A non-persistent cookie enables a web site to temporarily keep information on your computer as you travel from one page to another on our web site. This cookie is automatically deleted from your machine when you close your browser. Because these cookies are necessary to provide some functions, failure to allow such cookies may make some of the functions on our web site unavailable to you.
A persistent cookie is kept even when you close your browser. You can manually delete these cookies using commands specific to your browser and computer system. These cookies store information that would generally not change from session to session. They also contain information that would need to be reentered by you each time you visit the web site. For example, a common use of persistent cookies is to allow a registered web site visitor to enter the web site without having to specify their username and password.
Our Use of Cookies
The Utah Conservation Forum uses cookies for various reasons. The Utah Conservation Forum only reads information from the specific cookies that are written by our web sites. The Utah Conservation Forum does not use cookies to obtain information about other web sites that you may have visited. Cookies may be used to store some history about the parts of our web sites that you have visited to help you navigate our web sites more easily or to alert you to related pages on our web site that may interest you.
Questions?
Utah Conservation Forum welcomes comments and questions on this policy. We are dedicated to protecting your personal information, and will make every reasonable effort to keep that information secure.
If you have any questions, please contact us at info@utahconservationforum.org or call (801) 537-0902.
Any information that you provide to us on the web, in e-mail, and by fax or mail is covered by this policy.
