What is a "cookie"?
A cookie is a way for websites to recognize whether or not you have visited the site before. A cookie is a piece of data given to a browser by a web server and handed back to the browser on subsequent visits. We use cookies at login registration and elsewhere when you enter customized information. Cookies may also be present on sites where we advertise. Recording a cookie at such points makes your online experience easier and more personalized. It also allows us to recognize you as a customer and automate your online experience. Additional information about cookies can be found at:

Cookies and Privacy
Although there has been some debate over the privacy implications of cookies, it is important for you to know that cookies do not read your hard drive. In addition, cookies are unique to servers and are not shared among web servers.

If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set your browser to alert you of a cookie being offered or to reject all cookies, or erase some or all cookies already present on your computer. You can also turn cookies back on if your login is not recognized. Just go to the help function on your browser for complete instructions.

We do not recommend disabling cookies, as you may not be able to login or use basic features on our website. Erasing all cookies already present on your computer may also affect browsing on other websites.

How do you use cookies?
We will collect information about you whenever you interact with us online either by receiving and storing information you provide or through the use of identifiers called "cookies." We use cookies to enable our computers to recognize you and facilitate your use of the website. For example, the www.smithrothchild.com website stores your Rehab Consultant preference in a cookie so that we can present your Rehab Consultant's information when you login to the Rehabbing Resources section of our website. We also use cookies served by third parties to gather anonymous and aggregated data for our use.

Can I set my computer to reject cookies?
Yes. Each of the two major browsers (Netscape Navigator® and Microsoft® Internet Explorer) provide the means to alert you when a cookie will be placed and give you the opportunity to accept all, some or none of them. We do not recommend disabling cookies on our website because you may not be able to login or use basic features on our website. For more information see the 'Help' information for the browser you are using.

What happens if you delete your cookies and you can't login to the site anymore?
Many popular sites use cookies to help you login to the site. If you lose a cookie file or turn them off, the site may not be able to recognize you or recall your settings. If this happens, just turn your cookies back on and try logging back into the site. If that doesn't work, contact us by emailing site@srrehab.com.

What happens when you reject cookies?
Once a cookie is rejected, it is discarded and not saved to memory or disk.

Are cookies dangerous to your computer?
No. Presently, there are no known cases of cookies being used to introduce or spread computer viruses. Technically, a cookie cannot be used to access your hard drive. Your browser may save cookie values to your hard drive, but that is the limit of the effect on your computer system.

Beacons
We may use Web beacons on our website. Web beacons may also be present on other sites where we advertise. Web beacons (also known as single gif pixels, tags, and web bugs) are often used in the same way as cookies. A beacon is a small string of code, embedded in a web page that is typically used by the site owner or a third party to measure site traffic, unique visitor counts, and advertising. Beacons on our website collect anonymous information about our visitors and can be prevented from transmitting this data by disabling cookies on your web browser. For information on how to disable cookies, see above. Additional information about beacons can be found at:

Beacons and Privacy
Web beacons on our website and on other sites where we advertise may collect information such as the date, time and the length of time you viewed a particular web page, the web address of the page on which the Web beacon resides, the site you visited prior to visiting our website, and the type of web browser you use. Beacons are also used to gather statistics about visitor viewing habits on various website pages. Our beacons do not reveal personally identifying information about a particular user. All information collected by us, or third parties acting on our behalf, is anonymous and may be aggregated with the anonymous data collected from other website visitors. For example, if a person enters the Smith Rothchild site by clicking on a banner advertisement, we may receive demographic information about the user, without the user being specifically identified. Generally, turning off a Web user's cookies will prevent beacons from tracking a user's activity. However, as stated above, we do not recommend disabling cookies, as you may not be able to log in or use basic features of our website.
