To view this site securely, you will need to use a browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator that supports SSL (Secure Socket Layer) security protocol. These browsers will let you know whether or not the site is secure. There’s a symbol, such as a key or lock, to show that you are in secure mode; if not, a warning will appear when you are about to send us sensitive information.

What Are Cookies?
A “cookie” is a small line of text that is stored within your browser or on your hard drive when you visit a cookie-enabled site. As you browse the Web, cookie-enabled sites will send cookies to your browser or your hard drive, along with pages. Your browser probably has options that will let you control whether the browser accepts cookies, rejects cookies, or notifies you each time a cookie is sent to you. Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you prefer, you may change your browser settings to refuse cookies. However, in so doing, you may not be able to fully utilize this site or may experience difficulties accessing parts of this site. If you set your browser to reject cookies, cookie-enabled sites will not recognize you when you return. This provides you with anonymity, but it also makes it very difficult to offer you customized services. If you set your browser to accept cookies, any cookies that are sent to your browser are stored in your computer for a period of time. There are a few different types of cookies. A “session” cookie is stored only in your computer’s working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close all of your browser’s windows, or when you shut down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever. A “permanent” cookie is stored on your computer’s hard drive until a specified date, which could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Permanent cookies stay on your computer until either:
a) they expire
b) they are overwritten with newer cookies
c) you manually remove them
CareerTalk.com never uses cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. CareerTalk.com does not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with any third parties whatsoever.
