Hi, this is interesting. Can you post the guidelines?

Quote: This policy will be clarified to make clear that "persistent cookies" (i.e., those that can be used to track users over time and across different web sites) are authorized only when there is a compelling need to gather the data on the site; appropriate technical procedures have been established to safeguard the data; and the Secretary of Defense has personally approved use of the cookie.
