When you visit some websites, their web servers generate pieces of information known as cookies. Cookies are text files or entries in larger files, used to distinguish between visitors to a website and to track information during multiple visits to a website.

Some cookies collect personal information to recognize your computer in the future. These cookies are known as “persistent” cookies. The Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth (OCCY) website does not use persistent cookies.

OCCY uses non-persistent cookies or "per-session cookies." These cookies do not collect personal information on users and they are erased as soon as you leave the OCCY website. Per-session cookies do not permanently record data and they are not stored on your computer's hard drive. These cookies are stored in memory and are only available during an active browser session. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears.

The use of cookies is a standard practice among websites. Web browsers may be customized to reject cookies, accept or reject cookies by user intervention, or delete cookies. Rejecting cookies from the OCCY website could lead to the loss of some functionality on pages that require cookies to fully function.
