	TIPS FOR BETTER WEB BROWSING:
	Our Use of "Cookies" and your Privacy

We are frequently asked why we use "cookies."

What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file that we create to store information on your computer. We do not use cookies to track what other sites you have visited, or to look at or track any personal or confidential information about you. We make use of cookies in order to only ask you to fill out the questionnaire once every 6 hours. JABFM Online creates ONE cookie:

• "questionnaire=noshow" tells us you have filled out the questionnaire. For this reason, you must accept this cookie in order to use the site. (This also allows us to avoid asking you to fill out the questionnaire more than once every 6 hours.)

Cookie Problems:

You are not accepting cookies.
Make sure that your browser's preferences are set to accept cookies.

You are using a program on your computer that automatically deletes cookies.
You will need to create an exception for JABFM Online.

The date is set incorrectly on your computer.
This confuses our cookies (they have expiration dates). Check to see that your date is set accurately.

You are accessing JABFM Online via a "proxy server" that is deleting cookies automatically.
You should contact your network administrator to determine whether your institution's proxy server is the source of the trouble.
