Cookies

Ala Costa Centers, Inc. (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the https://www.alacostacenters.org website (the “Service”). Our Cookie Policy below should be read with our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service pages. Our Cookies Policy explains what cookies are, how we use cookies, how third-parties we may partner with may use cookies on the Service, your choices regarding cookies and further information about cookies.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text sent to your web browser by a website you visit. A cookie file is stored in your web browser and allows the Service or a third party to recognize you and make your next visit easier and the Service more useful to you.

Cookies are NOT viruses.

Cookies use a plain text format. They are not compiled pieces of code, so they cannot be executed, nor are they self-executing. Accordingly, they cannot make copies of themselves and spread to other networks to execute and replicate again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they fall outside the standard virus definition.

Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.
