automatically recognised by the webserver.
The POCSA / SOFAP / PAFAA's site uses cookies for collecting user information from

the SOFAP / PAFAA's website, we use tracking technology which monitors user
sessions via a Java applet which activates a session cookie. No information
is stored on your computer and no personal data is obtained from this
software.
If you register to receive updates your information will be held on a secure
server. It will be used only to provide you with e-mail updates on the
topics you have requested or postal information if you request that service.
If you respond online to a consultation exercise your data will only be used
to facilitate the analysis of responses. This privacy statement only covers
