Do you use cookies?
No. We do not use cookies. We do use Session Variables to transfer information between Way To Succeed web pages. Session Variables are automatically deleted when you close your browser. There is the case that certain older versions of Safari require a user to turn on cookies in order to be able to use Session Variables. But even in that case, we still don't set or use cookies.
Be aware that cookies are being phased out, and are being replaced with something that has the possibility of being even more intrusive, i.e. Google's "Federated Learning of Cohorts" (FLoC). Until we know more about this, we have opted out of FLoC.
