VONAPP Cookie Alert: We have automatically detected that you have your computer set to not accept "cookies". You must have your computer set to accept cookies before you can begin using Veterans On-Line Applications (VONAPP).
What are "cookies"? Cookies are used as part of VONAPP programming so if your computer's setting does not accept cookies, you cannot use VONAPP. VONAPP uses cookies only when you are actually in VONAPP. These are called "session cookies". Once you close your browser, no VONAPP cookies remain on your computer. VONAPP does not use "persistent" cookies.
What must I do to allow my computer to accept cookies? You must change settings on your Internet browser to accept cookies. VONAPP allows use of two types of web browsers: Internet Explorer (IE), and Netscape. Each browser requires a different procedure to change settings. Also, IE and Netscape exist in different versions requiring slightly different steps to change settings.
How do I know which version of IE is on my computer? At the top of your screen in the toolbar, click on Help, then click About Internet Explorer. The screen that pops up will show the version number.
The following instructions are for changing IE versions 5.01 and 5.5, the most popular browser and versions currently selected by VONAPP users. To view and modify session cookie settings, follow these steps:
		1. In Internet Explorer 5.01 and 5.5, click on Tools, then Internet Options, and then click on the Security tab.
		2. Then click Custom Level
		3. Scroll down to Cookies, click the option Allow Per-session Cookies (Not Stored), click OK, and then click OK.
You may now reenter VONAPP by closing this browser window and opening a new window.
