Cookies

A “cookie” is a file a Web site places in your computer for future reference. LIPTA does not, at the time of writing, use cookies. If, in future, cookies are used, information supplied through a LIPTA cookie will used only by LIPTA and will not be shared with others. Changes to the use of cookies will be posted on this page.

Server Logs

As you travel through the LIPTA website, our servers log information about your session. Information logged includes items such as your IP address, what browser you are using, the time and date you visited, how long your session lasted, and what pages you visited. We use (we plan to use) information from our server logs primarily to learn about our visitors as a group. It helps (we hope it will help) us to improve services on the site and plan for future needs so that we can assure continuity of service. Or, we may check an individual log when an individual has reported trouble accessing the LIPTA system.
