Certain FAAR features, such as logging in and registering for classes, require your browser to accept third-party cookies.
Cookies are pieces of data stored by web browsers that websites and applications can use to remember a web browser from one request to the next. They allow features like shopping carts and user account logins to function.
Many web browsers make a distinction between first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created by the web server identified by the address shown the browser’s address bar. Third-party cookies can be created when content is loaded from domains other than the one shown in the address bar or in FAAR’s case, from the connected member database.
Some browsers allow users to decide whether or not the third-party cookies should be accepted. To configure your browser to allow third-party cookies, follow the instructions for your chosen browser.
