WHAT ARE COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how people use the site. Think of them like a punch card at your local coffee shop — they help us recognize you when you come back.

We do not use cookies to track you across the internet or sell your data. We use them to make UnionBoomer work properly and to understand how we can make it better for union workers.
