Privacy Policy

We at Fort Gordon DFMWR have created this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting your personal information and informing you about how we handle it. This privacy policy only applies to transactions made, and data gathered, on the fortgordon.com web site (the "Site") and does not apply to any other web site or offline point of contact between Fort Gordon DFMWR and consumers. Please review this privacy policy periodically as we may update it from time to time. This privacy policy was last revised on January, 2009. Each time you visit the Site or provide us with information, by doing so you are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that time.

Use of Cookies
A "cookie" is a small piece of information (token) sent by a Web server and stored on a user's system (hard drive) so it can later be read back from that system. Using cookies is a convenient technique for having the browser remember some specific information. Cookies may be categorized as "session" or "persistent" cookies. "Session" cookies are temporary cookies that are used to maintain context or "state" between otherwise stateless Web transactions (e.g., to maintain a "shopping basket" of goods selected during a single logical session at a site) and that must be deleted at the end of the web session in which they are created. "Persistent" cookies remain over time and can be used for a variety of purposes, including to track a user's access over time and across Web sites, or to establish user preferences. We do not use cookies. Please read below for the types of information about you that we use on this site.

Your IP Address
