The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the website www.uncc.edu and the network of websites making up the UNC Charlotte network.
Cookies:
Cookies are pieces of information stored by your web browser on behalf
of a web site and returned to the web site on request. This site may use cookies
for two purposes: to carry data about your current session at the site from one
web page to the next, and to identify you to the site between visits. If you prefer
not to receive cookies, you may turn them off in your browser, or may set your
browser to ask you before accepting a new cookie. Some pages may not function
properly if the cookies are turned off. Unless otherwise notified on this site,
we will not store data, other than for these two purposes, in cookies. Cookies
remain on your computer, and accordingly we neither store cookies on our computers
nor forward them to any external parties. Unless otherwise notified on this site,
we do not use cookies to track your movement among different web sites and do
not exchange cookies with other entities.
Network Log Files:
In the course of ensuring network security and consistent service for all users,
the University employs software programs to do such things as monitor network
traffic, identify unauthorized access or access to nonpublic information, detect
computer viruses and other software that might damage University computers or
the network, and monitor and tune the performance of the University network. In
the course of such monitoring, these programs may detect such information as e-mail
headers, addresses from network packets, and other information. Information from
these activities is used only for the purpose of maintaining the security and
performance of the University's networks and computer systems. Personally identifiable
information from these activities is not released to external parties without
your consent unless required by law.
