On most browsers, an unbroken key or locked padlock icon at the bottom of the browser screen indicates that a secure connection is in place.</p> <h3>Cookies</h3> <p>Some of the services hosted on Texas.gov use cookies. A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on a visitor’s personal computer to track specific information about that visitor’s interaction with the website. The services hosted on Texas.gov use both session cookies and persistent cookies. A session cookie is temporary and only exists during a single session during which a visitor uses Texas.gov. Texas.gov session cookies are used to keep track of a particular online transaction and are destroyed after successful completion of a transaction, after a few minutes of inactivity, or when the browser is closed.</p> <p>Persistent cookies continue to exist after a few minutes of inactivity, after the browser is closed, or after a visitor completes a single session. Texas.gov uses persistent cookies to track visitor activity on the site to structure content and make the Texas.gov websites easy to use. All persistent cookies from Texas.gov will expire within twenty-five months.</p> <p><strong>Texas.gov cookies do not contain or collect personal identifiable information about visitors. Moreover, Texas.gov will not match visitor activities with personally identifiable information, unless required by law or by law enforcement agencies, or as necessary to enforce the terms of use of the site. </strong>If an individual's web browser does not accept cookies, he or she may not be able to conduct online transactions on Texas.gov. However, this will not hinder normal browsing of the website. Texas.gov does not currently utilize web bugs or any other technology to track user activity other than those stated in this policy. However, as technology evolves, Texas.gov may change the technology in use, and will post changes to this policy on the site from time to time to reflect any such changes.</p> <h3>Texas.gov Privacy and Security Contact Information</h3> <p>If you have any questions or concerns about the Texas.gov Privacy and Security Policy, please contact us at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171121065937/mailto:txgov@dir.texas.gov" data-linktype="outbound">txgov@dir.texas.gov</a>.

Texas.gov reserves the right to link to external websites that would provide a service to the citizen. </p> <h3>External Web Sites</h3> <p> Upon leaving Texas.gov and linking to an external site, the policies governing Texas.gov no longer apply and users are subject to the external site’s policies.Questions and concerns regarding the information or services provided by a linked site must be directed to the entity or individual responsible for that site, rather than to Texas.gov. </p> <h3>Acceptance Criteria</h3> <p> Texas.gov links to federal, state, and local governments that provide information and services that benefit Texas citizens and businesses. At its discretion, Texas.gov will consider link requests to non-governmental websites that contain information and/or services that further the purpose of Texas.gov. Any link suggestion to Texas.gov must undergo review to determine its relevance and appropriateness with respect to Texas.gov. Links are approved for Texas.gov based on the following criteria: </p> <ul> <li>The external website corresponds with the purpose of Texas.gov.</li> <li>The site's content is appropriate with respect to the purpose of Texas.gov and the site is not a: <ul> <li>Commercial site, which charges a fee for products or services online; (notices of the availability of publications by government entities that charge for the publications or notices of government sponsored conferences that charge a registration fee are not commercial sites and may be considered for linking.)</li> <li> Site that exhibits hate, bias, discrimination, pornography, libelous or otherwise defamatory content;</li> <li>Site that advocates or promotes the use of alcohol or tobacco;</li> <li>Site that lobbies, advocates, or advances the policies and priorities of a particular industry, organization or enterprise. This includes sites of non-profit organizations;</li> <li>Site belonging to or supporting a political affiliation; or</li> <li>Site that furthers the agenda of a political organization or candidate running for office.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p> Link suggestions should be sent to <a class="email" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171121065937/mailto:txgov@dir.texas.gov" data-linktype="outbound">txgov@dir.texas.gov</a> . Each link suggestion should address how the site meets the two acceptance criteria outlined above.</p> <h3>Conditions for Link Maintenance on Texas.gov</h3> <p>We require that links to external websites onTexas.gov meet the following conditions in order to remain on the site:</p> <ul> <li>The linked site must provide the user with access to an email address and/or a customer service telephone number on every page of the site, in order for users to contact the site if there are problems with format, accuracy, timeliness, or payment processing.</li> <li>Linked sites should not excessively burden the Texas.gov customer support system. If the site excessively burdens the Texas.gov customer support system, Texas.gov has discretion to remove the link from Texas.gov. Any customer support resources required by Texas.gov as a result of an external link on Texas.gov may require a fee to maintain the link on Texas.gov.</li> <li>When a Texas.gov site visitor clicks on the external website link, he/she must have easy access back to Texas.gov. One of two options can accomplish this: <ul><li>A link to Texas.gov can be established on the external website's main page; or</li> <li>The "Back" button returns the user to Texas.gov.</li> </ul></li> <li>Linked sites must have a privacy and security policy accessible from their home page informing the user of what information is collected, how it is collected, how it is used, and how the user can review and correct the information.</li> <li>Linked sites must notify Texas.gov through its site Administrator at the email address provided below if the site to which Texas.gov links becomes inaccurate or inactive.</li> <li>Texas.gov reserves the right to remove approved links if they are inaccurate or inactive, or at any time violate any of these requirements.</li> </ul> <h3>Linking Policy Contact Information</h3> <p> For questions and concerns regarding the linking policy, email us at <a class="email" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171121065937/mailto:txgov@dir.texas.gov" data-linktype="outbound">txgov@dir.texas.gov</a></p> </div></div> </div><div id="text-43" class="text-43 d-all t-all m-all footer--section widget widget_text"><h2 class="%1$s--widget-title">Social Media Policy</h2> <div class="textwidget"><p>Texas.gov will use the following policies to guide the use of social media sites in accordance with the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) Social Media Policy. <a href="#" id="social_policy_more" class="footer_more_link" data-link="extra_social_content">More</a></p> <div class="extra_social_content extra_footer_content"> <h3>Linking</h3> <p> Texas.gov may make available social media applications, and may publish social media content to third party sites.

If communication that takes place on Texas.gov involves or requires private information, communication will be redirected through other appropriate channels.
