The Public Access Module of the website sets a pair of cookies that enable the application to track the progress of the query being made. This was done to make site operation usable in an internet environment and to prevent the online inquiries from adversely impacting the ongoing operations of the Court since the Public Access module is running against the same database as the internal Court operations use. This cookie doesn’t track information beyond the progress of the current session. Refusing cookies will not result in inability to utilize the online Public Access, but it does make one’s session more prone to being ‘pruned’ and in that event having to start the query over from the beginning.

The Public Access Search also contains popup alerts that notify individuals of additional information that may apply to parties on the case currently being looked at. The information can range from upcoming events scheduled for one of the parties on the case, to open cases for a party or parties on the event, to alerts and warrants.

The Online Payment Process collects personal information from individuals wishing to pay fines and costs online. This information is retained and used to resolve the case(s) in question, some of it becoming part of the public record.

The privacy of individuals accessing this site for legitimate purposes will not be compromised. However, as with the Website of any public/governmental agency, all aspects of its operation are subject to scrutiny under various public access laws. No specific record is made regarding records accessed via the public access function of this Website.
