Cookies: The Red7 Knowledgebase software is a web application. In order to function at all, it must maintain certain information as you move from page to page within the web site. This is called maintaining a session with the server. In order to maintain session, the server must exchange a cookie (a small piece of information) with your web browser. The cookie does not contain any personal information about you. But once you've logged in, the cookie is what allows the web server to know who you are as you proceed from page to page. You must "accept" cookies in order to use this web site.

If you so choose, you can also have the knowledgebase server set a cookie containing your name and password on your local computer. You should request this cookie only if you can adequately protect the computer against unauthorized access, because anyone who can use your computer can exercise full control over your knowledgebase and over whatever personal information is stored on the knowledgebase computer.

Privacy: Each user of the knowledgebase software must register and select a name and password to safeguard access to his or her knowledgebases. A knowledgebase administrator, who is usually a member of your own organization, will help you determine that short user name (up to 8 characters), and will register that information with the knowledgebase server. You may also be asked for a full name, a URL at which personal information is available, and other unique information, but this information is not required by the knowledgebase server, and it is up to each workgroup to determine what information is collected and saved. Access to your information, including access to all URLs and files stored in your knowledgebase, is controlled by the names and passwords used by each group. Inasmuch as that information is secure, and as long as passwords aren't guessed or otherwise "cracked", the knowledgebase information is relatively secure. Every attempt is made to prohibit access to knowledgebase information except to those using valid names and passwords.
