POP-UP BLOCKERS

Several areas of our Online Testing session use pop-up windows to provide you with either reference materials or to allow access to a new area. If you have installed software to prevent pop-up advertisements, or have set your browser to not allow pop-up windows, your progress through your testing session may be severely hampered. We recommend you disable your pop-up blocking software or change your browser setting before starting your Online Testing session to avoid any possible issues.

JAVASCRIPT AND ACTIVEX

cffp.edu makes use of JavaScript. Internet Explorer uses ActiveX to implement JavaScript. If you've changed your browser settings to disable JavaScript, you'll need to re-enable them to view the cffp.edu Web site.

COOKIES AND PRIVACY CONCERNS

To handle your session settings, cffp.edu requires that you accept browser cookies.

Cookies enable us to keep track of the places you've visited, the test questions you've answered, your user ID, and other such things. We are aware that privacy is very important to our students. We respect your privacy, and use strict standards to protect that privacy. We recommend you review our Privacy Policy if you have any concerns.

If you have not turned off cookie notification in your browser, an alert box will pop up each time your enter a secure area of cffp.edu that may interfere with your display. For your convenience, we recommend that you turn off the cookie notification feature in your browser before you enter the cffp.edu Web site.

FIREWALLS

If your computer is located behind a firewall, you might not be able to access portions of the cffp.edu Web site. Company firewalls sometimes block JavaScript, or won't let you log in to a secure server—which cffp.edu requires.

Your system administrator will be able to tell you what is and is not blocked at your location.
