Web Site Policies

When you visit some Web sites, 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 Web site and to track information during multiple visits to a Web site.

Some cookies collect personal information to recognize your computer in the future. These cookies are known as “persistent” cookies. Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) does not use persistent cookies.

OKDHS 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 OKDHS Web site. 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 Web sites. Web browsers may be customized to reject cookies, accept or reject cookies by user intervention, or delete cookies. Rejecting cookies from the OKDHS Web site; however, could lead to the loss of some functionality on pages that require cookies to fully function.
