A cookie is a small file that a website you visit transfers to your computer to allow it to remember specific information about your visit.

The website uses cookies for technical purposes, such as to enable better navigation through the site or to allow you to customize your preferences for interacting with the website, and to monitor and analyze traffic to the website.

The website includes links to other federal agencies’ and non-federal organizations’ websites. If you access another website through a link that we provide, that website’s privacy policy applies to your interaction with that website, instead of this privacy policy.

We believe in the importance of protecting the privacy of children online. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) governs information gathered online from or about children under the age of 13. A website must obtain verifiable consent from a child’s parent or guardian before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from a child under age 13. Our site is not intended to solicit information of any kind from children under age 13. If you believe that we have received information from or about children under age 13, please contact us.

We implement reasonable security measures to help protect the security of your information. However, no system can be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information you provide or of information you access from the website.

WIf you have any questions or concerns about our privacy practices, please contact us at Justice40@ceq.eop.gov.
