CourthouseOnline uses cookies to track user trends and patterns to better understand our user base and to improve the quality of our service. A cookie is a small data file that web sites may write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that a web site can use to track the web pages visited by a user. CourthouseOnline may also choose to use cookies to store user preferences, user ID?s or user information such as passwords. A cookie can tell us, "This is the same computer that visited CourthouseOnline two days ago," but it cannot tell us, "This person is Joe Smith" or even, "This person lives in the United States." Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Be aware, however, that some parts of the CourthouseOnline Service may not function properly if you refuse cookies.
