Cookies on this site
The EPA portal uses only the cookies it needs to work. It sets no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, and nothing from any other company. How EPA uses the information you give the portal is in the privacy notice.
What is kept in your browser
| Name | What it is for | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|
| EPAPORTALSESS | Keeps you signed in, keeps a registration or application in progress from being lost between pages, and protects the forms you submit from being forged by another site. | Until you close your browser or sign out. |
| epa_cookie_notice | Remembers that you have accepted this notice, so you are not asked again. | 365 days. |
The portal also uses your browser's own session storage to remember which tab of a page you had open. That stays on your device, is never sent to EPA, and is cleared when you close the browser.
Your choice
These cookies are essential: without the first the portal cannot keep you signed in or accept a form. If you do not want them, you can block cookies for this site in your browser, but you will not be able to register, sign in or apply.
