  3. The date and time you visited the Township Web site;

At this time the Township does NOT employ any type of security measures, such as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or Certificates, to protect form and survey data while in transit.

Personal Information

"Personal information" is information about an individual that is readily identifiable to that specific individual. Personal information includes personal identifiers such as an individual's name, address, and phone number. A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered personal information.

If you choose not to participate in these activities, your choice will in no way affect your ability to use any other feature of the Township's Web site.

They allow data to be maintained for a users' benefit as he or she navigates a site. This is referred to as "session" or "management" cookie. These cookies go away when you terminate your visit to the Web site because they are maintained only in your browser's active memory during your session.

Cookies may also be stored on your computer so that you can be recognized by a Web site on subsequent visits. They can be read by the Web site that set them whenever you enter the Web site. They are often used on Web sites that require you to log in to save you from entering all of your login information. They may store information on your unique identifier and the areas of the Web site you have visited before. These cookies are stored on your computer's hard drive after you have left your Web site visit and consequently are often referred to as "persistent" cookies.
