This website does NOT use cookies that writes information on your or our computers
We do not collect or track information about you from your computer

But, like most interactive websites that use databases, we do need Session Variables to pass information from one page to the next. Session Variables are NOT SAVED on your computer or on ours . For example, when you search for a lighthouse, we need to 'pass' its name to the pages that displays its information, photo and history. Without being able to use Session Variables, this website cannot work correctly.
