We use cookies, which track user behavior, to inform enhancements to the overall user experience on our website.  A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing information about your online activity.  Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information.  Once you close your browser, the cookie simply terminates.  If a user rejects the cookie, they may still use our site.  The only drawback to this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site.

3.  Sharing Aggregate Information
Demographic information collected during an information request or registration is optional, but encouraged so that we may gain a better understanding of your needs, and so that we may serve you in a more personalized manner.  This information is solely for internal use and will not be shared with outside parties.  Sometimes we may share aggregated information with strategic partners, but we would not disclose any personally identifiable information.

4. Messages and transactions
Comments or questions sent to us using e-mail or secure messaging forms will be shared with B&S Counseling and Training Center staff who are most able to address your concerns.  We will archive your messages once we have made our best effort to provide you with a complete and satisfactory response.  Email addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with third parties.
