For example, cookies are used to distinguish between and authenticate users, save usernames and login status (so that users don’t have to log in more than once each time they access secured portions of the site), keep track of user-specific settings such as language, layout and other preferences, and manage session information to minimize data entry and for general ease of use. Cookies are also used to “time-out” user sessions that are idle for an extended period of time. TRICHOS™ may also use cookies to gather statistical and other information about how the website is used, assess the effectiveness of advertising, monitor access and use of particular content and provide tailored advertising and other content to users. Using cookies in the foregoing manner makes the website more effective, easier to use, improves security and efficiency, and is essential for the continuous improvement of TRICHOS’s systems.
