ACCEPTABLE USE OF PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM INFORMATION THE ISSA DENVER CHAPTER PUBLISHES

As a professional organization, the ISSA Denver Chapter sponsors a continuing education program. The content and information presented in this professional program is produced and owned by the presenters. The ISSA Denver Chapter, as a service to its membership, will publish and archive for a year continuing education presentations on its Web site with the consent of the presenter, as the owner of the information. Presenters having no objection to their presentation being published on the ISSA Denver Chapter Web site, and having no reservations regarding the professional use of this information by ISSA Denver chapter members, may provide the chapter with power point files or other non-restricted digital inputs to publish. The ISSA Denver chapter will publish this information unprotected on its Web site and its members may use the presenter’s information in any way associated with their professional duties. Presenters wishing to protect or restrict how their information is to be used can post their presentation on the ISSA-Denver Web site and have it copy protected. To copy protect their information they must provide ISSA Denver Chapter with Adobe .PDF files. The ISSA Denver Chapter will make every effort to safeguard the restricted information and to prevent its copying and restrict its use to viewing on the chapter’s Web site. The presenter, as the owner of the information, must indemnify the ISSA Denver Chapter for any subsequent misuse that may result, through no fault of the ISSA Denver Chapter, from publishing and restricting their information. If either of these two policies is not acceptable to presenters the ISSA Denver Chapter will not publish the presentation on its Web site.

COOKIES AND LOG FILES

A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser-- along with a Web page-- when you access a Web site. There are two kinds of cookies. A session cookie, which is the kind that we use, is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your computer's RAM. Because a session cookie is never written to a drive, it is destroyed as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie, which we do not use, is a more permanent line of text that gets saved by your browser to a file on your hard drive. Depending on your browser settings, you may receive notification that a given site is requesting cookie information, possibly with an expiration date. Persistent cookies have an expiration date in the future. Session cookies have no date associated with them. Thus, after your session is completed (when you close your browser) any information that we keep about you is destroyed automatically.
