Use of Cookies

The DETCOG may use cookies on occasion, to track the number of people who visit our sites from certain other websites and how they utilize our websites. The cookies we use do not personally identify individuals by their name, email address, health status, or any other personal attribute.
Some general information about visitors to our site is collected automatically. This includes the domain from which you access the Internet (such as AOL or MSN); the web browser you use (such as Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer); the date and time of the visit to our site; and the pages that are visited. This information is used for statistical tracking purposes only, to help us improve our website and provide visitors with a positive browsing experience. This information is only compiled in aggregate, so that we know how many people are visiting our site each day, how long people spend viewing our site, which pages are visited most, etc.
This information will never be linked to your personal identity, used to contact you, or released to an outside entity in any way, unless you request that we do so (see the "Personal Information" section below).

Personal Information

Some areas of our website allow you the option to enter personal information. These may include application request forms; work order forms; requests for information; surveys or feedback forms; and email links to DETCOG departments or individuals. If you voluntarily choose to provide personal information, it may be viewed by various people at the DETCOG in the process of responding to your on-line request.

Security

The DETCOG makes extensive use of technologies and techniques to help protect the integrity of the personal information you provide to us via the Internet. Still, you should be aware that electronic communications may not always be secure, in spite of all precautions. If you are concerned about providing sensitive information, you may wish to do so via phone, regular mail or during a personal visit, rather than electronically.

Outside Links

The DETCOG website may contain links to outside websites that are not owned or controlled by DETCOG. We cannot be responsible for the privacy protections provided by sites outside of the DETCOG site, even if they are linked to the DETCOG website.

The DETCOG will consider requests for links to any site that, in the DETCOG’s opinion, provides useful resources consistent with the DETCOG’s mission.

Any links must meet the following criteria:

The link must be to the official site of a government entity, a public or private organization whose work is generally recognized as being relevant to and consistent with the DETCOG’s mission as expressed in the mission statement.
Sites whose content is commercial or political in nature or whose content is not primarily service related will not be accepted.
Sites should not easily link (i.e., a site is linked from the index of a requesting site’s home page) to inappropriate sites (e.g., information regarding illegal activities or pornography, or sites with excessive negative commentary). Sites should not contain content written by many different people (e.g., student sites, chat rooms, interactive bulletin boards, etc.) which are not properly moderated or edited by the host.
Mutual links are quick and easy ways for Web users to gain information of shared interest. They do not imply an endorsement of any particular policies, programs, services, or products by the DETCOG.
While requests to link with the DETCOG web site will be considered using these guidelines, the DETCOG reserves the right to refuse links and to initiate links to other than requesting sites. The DETCOG will make such modifications of these guidelines as are deemed appropriate. Such modifications will be posted on this web page.
When a request to link is received, the DETCOG will review the site against its adopted criteria and will notify the requesting sponsor if its material is accepted. Any decision to link must be approved by the Webmaster and DETCOG Executive Director.
To request a link, email the webmaster .

Note to Parents

The DETCOG encourages parents to monitor their children's use of the Internet when viewing DETCOG websites and the Internet in general. While helpful to utilize control content software, it is still the parents responsibility to monitor their children's use of the Internet.
