The list below describes the cookies we use on this site and what we use them for.
Use of Cookies: A cookie is a small piece of information that a website puts on a hard drive so that it can remember information about a user at a later date. In the databases cookies are used in two ways: as a temporary Session Control cookie to validate access privileges and, at the Authorized User's option, as a permanent cookie to facilitate login to databases via the Remember Me option. Cookies are not used to gather or provide usage statistics. By choosing to take advantage of these services, Authorized Users consent to the use of their information for the purposes of providing these services.
Session Control Cookie: Session control cookies are used on most Web sites today because they facilitate navigation. In order to use databases Authorized Users must have their browsers set to accept cookies.
Once an Authorized User is signed onto databases, the web server uses a temporary cookie to help European Books manage the visit to the service. This Session Control Cookie is deleted when the Authorized User clicks on the Logout button in the databases or when the Authorized User quits the browser. This cookie allows European Books to quickly determine access control rights and personal preferences during the online session. The Session Control Cookie is set out of necessity and not out of convenience.
Site Performance cookies: Our servers may automatically record, and we may collect, information that your computer's browser sends whenever you visit any website. These server logs may include information such as the home server (including the institution) of the user, database or profiles accessed, searches performed, portions of site visited, web request(s), Internet Protocol address, research history, keyword searched, materials accessed, downloaded or printed, usage information, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request(s) and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your computer's browser. Our servers do not record or recognize names or email addresses of the user.
Remember Me Cookie: When an Authorized User registers to gain access to the databases the Authorized User is asked to choose a user name and password. Every time the Authorized User logs into the databases, he/she will be asked to enter this unique user name and password. Authorized Users have the option of storing this information on their computers as a permanent cookie by selecting the 'Remember Me' option when logging in. This feature is optional and user controlled. The Remember Me cookie can be deleted at any time by clicking on the Logout button in the databases.
Authorized Users must be careful not to store their user name and password as a cookie on any computer that is not their own, since doing so would enable other users coming to that computer to access the databases under their name.
