Cookies
When you visit some websites, their web servers generate files of information known as cookies, which helps webmasters understand how users interact with their site’s content and services. Websites use cookies to track one’s activities on a website (e.g., pages visited, links clicked on, etc.), and to record information about the user so when the user returns the site, customized features can be provided.
There are two types of cookies. A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your computer›s random access memory (RAM) and is only available for the duration of an active browsing session. A session cookie is not placed on any hard drive, and it is destroyed as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie is saved to a file on your hard drive and is accessed whenever you re-visit the website that put it there. This lets that website remember what you were interested in the last time you visited.
The Wittern Group does not use persistent cookies, but sometimes uses session cookies. Some of the interactive sections of our website may set session cookies in temporary memory in order to provide streamlined navigation. These session cookies are not stored on your computer›s hard drive permanently and are automatically erased as soon as you close your browser.
Information from these session cookies is not collected or saved.
Information Collected from Interactive Forms
Some interactive forms let you voluntarily submit personal information (such as your e-mail address, name, or organization). This occurs when you register to join an online community to submit information to web discussion forums, blogs and other community features; registering to receive e-mail updates and newsletters; and sending questions and comments to the Greenlite team. In these cases, all submitted information is used only for the express purposes for which it is intended, and is not made available to any third party. The Wittern Group only shares information you voluntarily provide with other government agencies if required by law. The Wittern Group never collects information or creates individual profiles for commercial marketing.

Except for authorized law enforcement investigations, no other attempts are made to identify individual users and their usage habits. Raw data logs are used for no other purposes and are scheduled for regular destruction in accordance with National Archives and Records Administration General Schedule 20.
