The 麻豆传媒映画 (NIH) has a permit from the DHHS allowing NIH sites using the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) to continue using persistent or 鈥渂locking鈥 cookies.

  • Record only that the visitor had the opportunity to answer the survey questions
  • Expire 30鈥90 days after being set
  • Reduce the burden on visitors to the site by avoiding repeated delivery of the pop-up survey

Cookies will not:

  • Collect any information about the visitors
  • Track the Web surfing activities of visitors
  • Indicate whether a visitor answered any questions
  • Link a particular visitor to any response or set of responses.

The authority for this record collection is provided by 42 U.S.C. 203, 241, 2891-1 and 42 U.S.C. 3101, and Section 301 of the Public Health Act.
