When does the IHSS Public Authority Web site collect my personally identifiable information?
The IHSS Public Authority Web site gathers information from users and visitors primarily in two ways: cookie technology and IP addresses. Wherever we collect personal information, we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Statement on that page.
Cookies . We use cookies as a fundamental part of the technology that allows the IHSS Public Authority Web site to function. We also use them to store and track your preferences in order to provide you with a more personalized user experience. A cookie is a message that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Most Internet sites use cookies. You can set your browser preferences to reject all cookies (see below), but then you will not be able to use all the functionality of our Web site. We also use cookies that contain no personal information at all.
IP Address . An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer automatically when you use the Internet. When you visit a particular Web page in the IHSS Public Authority Web site, our servers log your IP address. We may log IP addresses for the purposes of systems administration. We also use IP addresses to monitor user traffic patterns and site usage to help us further develop and improve our Web site and our services. We do not link your IP address to anything personally identifiable about you.
