¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥

The ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ website cookie disclosure message is available to be applied to any ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ website.

All administrators of ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ websites are strongly encouraged to include this disclosure where it is applicable. For more information on the importance of web privacy compliance, refer to the Records Management and Privacy Office.

For administrators of web accounts built using the WebPublish Service (basic, custom, and academia service levels), the cookie disclosure is automatically included in your site.

How it works

When a user encounters and clicks the "OK" button, both a first party and a third party cookie is placed on the users browser for www.queensu.ca. For any subsequent visit to any ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ website (cross-domain included) that uses the cookie disclosure code, the user's browser checks for the existence of this cookie and, when found, the cookie disclosure message is not shown. In cases where the users browser is blocking third party cookies, the disclosure message will only be silenced for the one website where they click the "OK" button.

The cookies expire after 90 days, after which the user will be shown the disclosure message again.
