Wiley may modify any of these terms and conditions at any time by providing notice on Wiley Online Library. An Authorized User’s continued use of Wiley Online Library shall be conclusively deemed acceptance of such modification.

Privacy and Data Protection Policy

Wiley recognizes the importance of protecting the information it collects in the operation of Wiley Online Library and will act in compliance with the Privacy Policy posted at http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-301465.html.

Additional Services

In addition Wiley Online Library may offer additional services, including optional E-mail Alerting Services, which are opted into by registration and may be opted out of at any time. By choosing to take advantage of this and other services offered by Wiley Online Library, Authorized Users consent to the use of their information for the purposes of providing these services.

Use of Cookies: A cookie is a small piece of information that a website puts on a hard drive so that it can remember information about a user at a later date. In Wiley Online Library cookies are used in two ways: as a temporary Session Control cookie to validate access privileges and, at the Authorized User's option, as a permanent cookie to facilitate login to Wiley Online Library via the Remember Me option. Cookies are not used to gather or provide usage statistics. By choosing to take advantage of these services, Authorized Users consent to the use of their information for the purposes of providing these services.

Session Control Cookie: Session control cookies are used on most Web sites today because they facilitate navigation. In order to use Wiley Online Library Authorized Users must have their browsers set to accept cookies.

Once an Authorized User is signed onto Wiley Online Library, Wiley’s Web server uses a temporary cookie to help Wiley manage the visit to the service. This Session Control Cookie is deleted when the Authorized User clicks on the Logout button in Wiley Online Library or when the Authorized User quits the browser. This cookie allows Wiley to quickly determine access control rights and personal preferences during the online session. The Session Control Cookie is set out of necessity and not out of convenience.

Remember Me Cookie: When an Authorized User registers to gain access to Wiley Online Library or its personalization features, the Authorized User is asked to choose a user name and password. Every time the Authorized User logs into Wiley Online Library, he/she will be asked to enter this unique user name and password. Authorized Users have the option of storing this information on their computers as a permanent cookie by selecting the 'Remember Me' option when logging in. This feature is optional and user controlled. The Remember Me cookie can be deleted at any time by clicking on the Logout button in Wiley Online Library.

Authorized Users must be careful not to store their user name and password as a cookie on any computer that is not their own, since doing so would enable other users coming to that computer to access Wiley Online Library under their name and to have access to their Wiley Online Library My Profile page.
