fk (strictly necessary)

HighQ Collaborate allows sites to be created with "PDF Security". This is a Digital Rights Management tool that allows restrictions to be applied to PDF documents and ensures that access can be tightly controlled, even if the document is saved to the user's computer.

When a user downloads the first document and authenticates using the FileOpen plugin, a cookie is saved on their machine. This cookie stores the user's login details (in an encrypted format) and ensures that authentication is not required each time an encrypted document is opened. If the cookie was not installed, the user would need to enter their login details (email address and password) for every document that was opened.
