Diversity and Inclusion
Oracle is fully committed to diversity and inclusion. Oracle respects and values having a diverse workforce that increases thought leadership and innovation. As part of our initiative to build a more inclusive culture that positively impacts our employees, customers, and partners, we are working to remove insensitive terms from our products and documentation. We are also mindful of the necessity to maintain compatibility with our customers' existing technologies and the need to ensure continuity of service as Oracle's offerings and industry standards evolve. Because of these technical constraints, our effort to remove insensitive terms is ongoing and will take time and external cooperation.

Information About Cookies
When a user visits a deployed App UI, a combination of cookies are used for storing authentication and session information.
The following cookies are used to store information about sessions, visits, and authentication. The information we observe about visitor behavior is stored on our servers, not in the cookie placed on the browser. The cookies we use are usually an anonymous unique identifier, which provides a means of determining whether a visitor has visited the App UI before but does not provide any means of identifying the visitor. None of the cookies contain personally identifiable information, although, in accordance with standard HTTP protocol, the visitor’s IP address is passed to our servers as part of the HTTP request. All cookies are secured with encryption and sent over HTTPS. The following table describes the cookies that are saved to the browser of visitors visiting a deployed App UI:
Name | Description |
---|---|
JSESSIONID | The JSESSIONID cookie is a transient cookie used for session management. It only has a session identifier and does not contain any personal details. |
OAMAuthnCookie |
The OAMAuthnCookie cookie is generated by Oracle Access Manager for all clients using an Oracle Cloud service. A valid OAMAuthnCookie is required for a session.
Removing the cookie will cause the user to be logged out. The user will need to re-authenticate the next time they request a protected resource. |
