When you visit a page on the RPRP.org website, the internet browser on your computer may store a small piece of data sent from RPRP.org web servers (commonly called a “cookie”). The “cookie” allows the server to “remember” specific information about your visit while you are using the site and is sent by the browser to RPRP.org servers in all web requests to RPRP. The “cookie” also makes it easier for you to use the dynamic features of web pages since they can be used to save certain settings and preferences. Cookies from RPRP webpages only collect information about your browser’s visit to our site; they do not collect personal information about you and they are not sent to any other web sites. To learn how to manage or refuse cookies from RPRP.org or any other website, go to the USA dot gov external site.

RPRP.org Cookies: RPRP.org uses different types of cookies. Single-session cookies are used for technical purposes, such as enabling better navigation through the site, facilitating the use of user accounts, and generating aggregated statistics about how the website is used. Single-session cookies may use a unique identifier, but do not publicly expose personal information. Under the framework of the OMB, this qualifies as a Tier 1 use.

Multi-session or persistent cookies are used to recognize a browser session that was used in a previous visit to an RPRP.org website, which can improve a user’s experience; for example, continuing preference settings from previous visits. These persistent cookies also provide the ability for RPRP to gather information on unique visitors to RPRP.org websites. Under the framework of OMB M- 10-22, this qualifies as a Tier 2 use.

RPRP uses a third-party analytics provider to analyze the collected data. The third-party analytics provider does not receive personally identifiable information through these cookies.

Third-Party Cookies: Some pages on RPRP.org may include web content or functionality from third parties. These third parties may use web measurement and customization technologies (such as cookies) in conjunction with the provision of this content or functionality. You should consult the privacy policies of these third parties for further information. We do not knowingly use third-party tools that place a multi-session cookie prior to the user interacting with the tool unless identified on 3rd party tools site, for example by playing an embedded video. If you become aware of a third-party tool on RPRP.org that places a multi-session cookie prior to any user interaction, please contact RPRP’s Privacy Office found on the RPRP.org Privacy Policy page.

Another form of website measurement and customization technology is the use of “flash cookies” which are created by Adobe Flash, a technology that powers web content such as videos. To manage these, visit the external website for Adobe Flash.

RPRP.org does not currently use first-party flash cookies, but may use them in the future or they may be used by embedded third-party technologies.

Cookies for Email Subscribers: In order to improve the experience for email subscribers and improve the overall quality of email subscription services, 3rd party email subscription service providers may use cookies to measure the effectiveness of our email communications and to better tailor email content. Because this links cookie data with an individual user, and as such, this qualifies as a Tier 3 use under the framework of OMB M- 10-22. We will only connect cookie data to individual users who have consented and opted in to receiving emails. For data captured in this manner, we restrict access to individual-level information to employees, contractors, and vendors subject to non-disclosure requirements who require access to this information in order to perform their official duties and exercise controls to limit what data they can view based on the specific needs of their position.
