A. We use cookies on the PLANTS Name Search and the Distribution Update. On the PLANTS Name Search at the top left of every page, the name type and the name you enter are stored as cookies. This allows you to move between the different sections of PLANTS and see the last name you entered in the Name Search at the top of every page. On the Distribution Update, a cookie sets a unique identifier for you that is used as you submit data and view reports. This unique identifier is required so that our server can keep track of your session in case there are simultaneous users of the Distribution Update.
