10. Why and how does this site use cookies?
"Cookie" is the term for a small, persistent piece of data that resides in your local computer's browser cache, enabling a site to keep track of a user's actions within it. This site uses cookies for one purpose only: To establish a session ID within the Online Application System and ensure that your application information and approval responses remain confidential. In addition to the assurance of a secure connection, the establishment of a session ID adds another layer of identification for your information as it is routed through Springleaf Financial Services' application servers. In practice, this site installs a cookie with only one key/value pair: the key "sesessionid" and a unique multi-character identification.
