Cookies

We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a small piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. Friendsofcarlsandburg.org uses cookies to store information about visitors’ preferences, to uniquely (not personally) identify you as a website visitor so you would not have to log in a password more than once, to record user-specific information on which pages the site visitor accesses or visits, and to personalize or customize our web page content based upon visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends via their browser. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

Children’s Information

We believe it is important to provide added protection for children online. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children to observe, participate in and/or monitor and guide their online activity. www.friendsofcarlsandburg.org does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian believes that www.friendsofcarlsandburg.org has in its database the personally-identifiable information of a child under the age of 13, please contact us immediately at focsnc@gmail.com and we will use our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.

You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline.
