- Cookies
- A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive containing information
about the user. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable
information while on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie simply
terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our site, the user would not have to log
in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects the
cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the user will be
limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to store a
search history. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users
to enhance the experience on our site.
- Log Files
- Find-It! Illinois uses IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's
movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not
linked to personally identifiable information. Sharing Aggregated demographic information
may be shared with other libraries and government agencies. This is not linked to any
personal information that can identify any individual person.
- Links
- This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that the Illinois State
Library is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our
users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and
every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement
applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
- Surveys
- From time-to-time our site may request information from users via surveys. Participation
in these surveys is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or
not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information
(such as name and email address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age
level). Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use
and satisfaction of this site.
- Notification of Changes
- If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage so
our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the
privacy policy under which the information was collected.
