The Legislature uses cookies only to improve the user experience within the context of a single browser session or between site visits and not for any form of information gathering about user browsing. Cookies may contain a “key,” so that you do not need to login every time you visit a new page, or when you return to the Legislature website from the same computer at a later date. Remember, if you are using a public computer, and you fail to log out from the Legislature website after finishing your session, another person may be able to access your account.
