Once a computer has been logged in, students should not be prompted to log in again. If students are asked repeatedly to log in on the same computer, the cookies are probably being deleted. If a school provides individual network log-in accounts for each student, Britannica recommends that the school set up the network profiles so that cookies can be shared between accounts. If school computers are set up to delete cookies periodically, then their Britannica cookie will be deleted. If possible, set up the computer so that the Britannica cookie is not deleted. Schools using Deepfreeze”, Fortress”, or other security software products that refresh computers frequently may also be deleting the Britannica cookie. Britannica recommends including the schools Britannica cookie within the Deepfreeze” refresh itself, so that the computer will automatically be logged in when it is refreshed.
