- A cookie is a small file stored on the site user's local hard drive, which is distributed by a Web server and is used to aid Web page navigation. Two types of cookies are commonly used. A session cookie is a temporary file created whenever a Web site is accessed and is self-terminated based either on an expiration date (e.g., 10 seconds to 3 hours from creation of the cookie) or by closing the Web browser. A persistent cookie is a permanent file and must be deleted manually. Cookies referred to in the context of this Privacy Statement are session cookies. A cookie function may be used on the site to track visitor practices to help determine which site features and services are most important and guide editorial direction. The cookie makes it possible for the user to access the site without requiring entry of a user name, which allows the user to view different restricted areas of the site without reregistering and allows the user to personalize the site for future use. Users who do not desire the functionality created by the cookie should have the option to disable the cookie function, either by indicating when asked that they do not wish to have a cookie created or by disabling the cookie function on their browser. Individuals should be able to opt out of cookie functions that permit tracking of personal information at any time.

The City of Brillion/Brillion Community Center reserves the right to amend the Online Privacy Statement at any time, for any reason. We will post notice that this Statement has been amended by revising the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy statement.
