What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small file that we create to store information on your computer.
We do not use cookies to track what other sites you have visited, or to look at or track any personal or confidential information about you.
We make use of cookies to enable authorization control for online subscriptions.
We delete all our cookies when you click "Sign Out".
If you are having difficulty with the
sign in process,
here are some potential causes:
| • |
You haven't activated your print subscription for access to NEJM Online.
If you subscribed to NEJM but have not yet activated your access to NEJM Online (created a user name and password),
activate now. |
| • |
You purchased an article or 24 hour access to NEJM Online on a different computer.
Because a cookie is assigned to the computer from which an article or 24 hour access to NEJM Online is purchased, you will need to sign in again
when using a different computer. Sign in here to regain your access. |
| • |
You are not accepting cookies.
Make sure that your browser's preferences are set to accept cookies. |
| • |
You are using a program on your computer that automatically deletes cookies.
You will need to create an exception for NEJM Online. |
| • |
The date is set incorrectly on your computer.
This confuses our cookies (they have expiration dates). Check to see that your date is set accurately. |
| • |
You are accessing NEJM Online via a "proxy server" that is deleting cookies automatically.
You should contact your network administrator to determine whether your institution's proxy server is the source of the trouble. |
If you still cannot sign in,
contact us.
There are four cookies used in our system:
"acceptsCookies" certifies that you are using a browser which accepts cookies.
"username" identifies you to our system as a valid user.
"pswd" tracks your password (encrypted).
"JServSessionId" identifies your session to our computer.
Unless you use the "Auto Sign In" option
on the sign in page, the cookie information we create in your browser is
destroyed as soon as you quit your browser.
On the other hand, if you use the "Auto Sign In" option
once and accept the cookies, on future occasions, the system
will only set one cookie, since the other cookies remain resident on
your computer until you delete them using "Sign Out."
