Use of Cookies

server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses,
and so on. When you return to the same Hartford Housing Authority Web site, the information
you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Hartford Housing Authority
features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the Hartford Housing Authority services or Web sites you visit.
