About "Cookies"
While visiting sites within the http://www.niams.nih.gov/
domain, you will not encounter a Web page that employs cookies. A cookie
is a small file that a Web site transfers to your computer's hard disk
allowing our server to "remember" specific information about your session
while you are connected. Unless an NIAMS Web page specifically notifies
you otherwise, we will not collect and maintain personal information
about you. To protect your privacy, be sure to close your browser completely
after you have finished conducting business with a Web site that uses
cookies. If you are concerned about the potential use of information
gathered from your computer by cookies, you can set your browser to
prompt you before it accepts a cookie. Most Internet browsers have settings
that let you identify and/or reject cookies.
