Xerox operates a strict privacy policy around the world. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use, and we've outlined below how we use cookies when you visit this site.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small snippet of text that a website asks your browser to store. All cookies have expiration dates in them that determine how long they stay in your browser. Cookies can be removed in two ways: automatically, when they expire, or when you manually delete them. We've included more details below to help you understand what kinds of cookies we use.
Does DocuShare use cookies?
Yes, with the primary purpose to make our website work more effectively.
What kinds of cookies does DocuShare use and why?
We use different kinds of cookies for various reasons:
- Session cookies
These are temporary cookies that expire (and are automatically erased) whenever you close your browser. We use session cookies to grant access to content and enable commenting (things you have to log in to do).
- Persistent cookies
These usually have a future expiration date and therefore stay in your browser until they expire, or until you manually delete them. We use persistent cookies for functionalities like the "Retain login for future" checkbox, which makes it possible for registered users to return to the site without having to log in.
What are the cookies used by DocuShare?

With this cookie, DocuShare can remember the operation you performed previously; this is also the prerequisite to perform various DocuShare features.
AmberUser
In order to fulfill the privileges of each user type, we need this cookie to remember the authentication information from each login.

tinymcePasteText

Why does the message explaining cookies keep appearing?
If you close the banner and it reappears the next time you visit us, you most likely have cookies disabled. We use a persistent cookie to remember that you closed the banner, but this only works when cookies on our site are enabled.
