Cookie Notice
Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program
Effective Date: 11/9/2026
Scope
This Cookie Notice explains how the Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program (the “Program,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on its public website and Program-controlled online pages. It should be read together with the Program’s Online Privacy Policy.
Other Program systems and applications may be subject to separate privacy and cookie notices and are outside the scope of this Cookie Notice.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Websites may also use local or session storage, tags, scripts, pixels, embedded content, and similar technologies that store information or communicate with a website or service provider.
A technology can transmit information without placing a traditional browser cookie. For that reason, the Program evaluates both browser storage and actual network communications when reviewing its website technologies.
Necessary Technologies – Always Active
The Program uses Necessary technologies to operate and secure its public website and Program-controlled online services, remember privacy choices, provide forms or features requested by visitors, and prevent fraud, spam, abuse, and security threats. These technologies may operate automatically where required to provide or protect the relevant service.
Necessary technologies are not used for advertising or retargeting. They cannot be disabled through the Program’s privacy-preference controls when required for the relevant operation or security purpose. Browser settings may block some of these technologies, but doing so may prevent a requested feature from working properly.
- Core website delivery, hosting, security, and session functions
- Storage of the visitor’s privacy choice and applicable notice version
- Operation and protection of online forms
- Bot, fraud, abuse, and spam detection on pages containing protected forms
- Operation of language, accessibility, or other features requested by the visitor
Analytics Technologies – Optional
With your affirmative permission, the Program may use Analytics technologies to understand how visitors use the public website and to improve its content, accessibility, performance, and user experience.
Analytics is optional. The Program does not transmit Analytics information unless you enable Analytics through the website’s privacy controls.
The Program does not use the Analytics category for advertising, retargeting, or the creation of advertising profiles.
Information Collected Through These Technologies
Depending on the technology and your choices, the website or its service providers may receive:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser, device, and operating-system information
- Date and time of access
- Requested pages or resources
- Referring page, if supplied by your browser
- Security and diagnostic information
- Form-protection signals
- Privacy-choice information
- Information about interactions with the public website
The Program may use this information to:
- Deliver, operate, secure, and diagnose the website
- Honor and document privacy choices
- Provide functions requested by visitors
- Prevent fraud, spam, abuse, and security threats
- Measure and improve public-website use, but only after Analytics is enabled
Features and Content Requested by the Visitor
Some pages may offer forms, videos, language features, or other content provided with the assistance of a service provider. Where feasible, the Program limits these technologies so that they operate only on the relevant page or after the visitor requests the feature.
When a visitor chooses to use or load a feature, the assisting service provider may receive limited technical information needed to provide or protect it. The Program treats security technologies required for a requested online form as Necessary on the page containing that form.
Payment Pages
Program-controlled payment pages use Necessary technologies for search, cart, transaction-reference, confirmation, security, and related functions. For these payment pages, payment credentials are entered only on a separate third-party processor page, subject to that provider’s privacy policy and technology choices.
Your Choices
You may accept or reject optional Analytics through the website’s privacy controls. You may change or withdraw your choice at any time through the Cookie Settings link available on the website.
Rejecting Analytics will not prevent you from using the public website or Program-controlled payment functions. Blocking Necessary technologies through your browser may prevent a requested feature from working properly.
Consent to optional Analytics is not inferred from continued browsing, use of the website, or acceptance of the Website and Hosted Payment Page Terms and Conditions.
Current Technology Details
The website’s preference center provides current details about specific technologies, service providers, purposes, and durations. The Program reviews the notice, preference center, and actual website behavior together and updates them when the implementation materially changes.
Data Retention
The Program or its consent-management provider may retain a limited record of a visitor’s privacy choice, the applicable notice version, and related technical information needed to honor and document that choice. Other technical information is retained in accordance with the Program’s Online Privacy Policy, applicable records schedules, legal requirements, and operational needs.
Changes to This Notice
The Program may update this Cookie Notice from time to time. Updated versions will be posted with a revised effective date. Material changes to website technologies, purposes, or consent practices will be reflected in this notice and the website’s privacy controls.
