Discussion Group and Cookies
Buildsheet may launch a discussion board service on some or all of the Buildsheet Site where users can discuss common topics of interest. Users will have the option of signing up for this service, and to do so must submit certain personal information, including a valid email address. Buildsheet uses this information to screen users who leave comments in violation of our Terms and will not disclose any readily identifiable personal information to any other organization.
The discussion board service may use cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser, the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions.
By accepting a cookie from the Buildsheet Site, users will not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on the site’s discussion board. We store a cookie on each user’s machine that contains a username and encrypted password. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set. If you reject all cookies, you may not be able to use Buildsheet products or services that require you to sign in, and you may not be able to take full advantage of all offerings.
