Tracking “Cookies”
Many websites use a feature known as “cookies” to store information about visitors who return to a website.  The Consortium web site does not use “cookies”, and does not track or store any personal information about individual readers who visit the site.

Surveys
The Consortium occasionally conducts online surveys to learn about how our readers find and use information, and how they take care of their health.  Survey participants always remain anonymous, and their individual answers remain private and confidential. Survey results are only used and presented in aggregate (grouped), for the benefit of our web site readers and Consortium members.

Online Forms
