This site uses JavaScript and cookies, and turning them off in your browser may cause the site not to function properly. But just what are "JavaScript" and "cookies," and why do we use them?

JavaScript is a computer programming language that runs within your web browser to make certain interactive elements on web pages work. Whenever you perform an action such as changing a menu option or clicking on a checkbox, and that action causes some kind of immediate result, like a change in text or an image somewhere else on the page, that's JavaScript at work. Some sites use JavaScript for undesirable behaviors like opening pop-up advertisements, and as a result, some users choose to turn off JavaScript in their web browsers.

Our site does not use JavaScript for any reason other than for necessary, core features.

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your hard drive by your web browser that allow you to carry over information from one web page to the next, and to save information between visits to a website. Our site uses a "session ID" cookie to allow you to work with information on our server as you move from page to page. This session ID is erased when you close your web browser. If you choose to save your username and password so you do not need to log in each time you visit the site, our site also uses a special cookie that remains stored on your hard drive between sessions, containing an encoded login ID.

The cookies on our site cannot access any personal information you do not intentionally provide to us through this site, and they cannot install any software on your computer.

Pop-up windows are a frequently abused feature of web browsers. When used appropriately, they can be a handy way for you to quickly access helpful tips or other useful features of a website without leaving the page you're on. But more often they are used to open unwanted advertisement windows. As a result, "pop-up blockers" have become a common feature of some web browsers, and some companies are making "add-on" pop-up blockers that work with your web browser to block pop-ups.

Because of their incredible usefulness, our site occasionally relies on pop-up windows for core features. We do not, and will never, use pop-up windows for advertising or other unwanted purposes. All of the pop-ups on our site are "user-activated," which means that they only open when you specifically tell the browser to open them, usually by clicking on a button.

Again, pop-up windows are used for core features of our site, so if you have a pop-up blocker activated on your web browser, you may have trouble using certain parts of the site. Fortunately, some web browsers with built-in pop-up blockers let you set up a list of "allowed sites" that can open pop-up windows, even if you have the blocker turned on.

Note: These instructions apply only to the built-in pop-up blocking features of the web browser software. If you are using third-party pop-up blocking software, please consult the manufacturer's documentation.

1. On Windows, open the Tools menu and select Options... On Mac OS X, open the Firefox menu and select Preferences...
2. Click the Web Features icon.
3. If Block Popup Windows is checked (which we recommend), click the Allowed Sites button.
4. In the Address of web site box, type: members.newproclamation.com
5. Click OK and, when the previous window appears, OK again to return to the browser.

Note: Versions of Internet Explorer before 6.0 SP2 do not contain any built-in pop-up blocking features. If you are using third-party pop-up blocking software, please consult the manufacturer's documentation.

1. Open the Tools menu and select Internet Options...
2. Select the Privacy tab, and look under Pop-up Blocker. The Block pop-ups box may or may not be checked. If it is checked, click the Settings... button.
3. In the new Pop-up Blocker Settings window, near the bottom, set Filter Level to Medium: Block most automatic pop-ups.
4. Click Close, and then back in the Internet Options window, click OK to return to the browser.

Safari does not provide an "allowed sites" option. If you are having trouble using the site, look in the Safari menu to see if there's a check mark next to Block Pop-Up Windows. If there is, select that option from the menu to uncheck it. If the problem persists, please contact Augsburg Fortress Customer Care for assistance.
