How to Enable Cookies

A successful log-in to the ACAT site depends upon a "session" cookie being set up so that the database can fetch information relative to you and only you.

Your username and password will trigger that cookie - completely harmless and "expired" upon log-out or after 24 hours, whichever happens soonest - but ONLY IF YOUR BROWSER IS CONFIGURED TO ENABLE COOKIES.

If you are experiencing difficulties with logging in, it may be that cookies are disabled.
