• Privacy Statements for other County departmental or agency Websites
  This privacy statement describes the information-gathering practices and procedures of the Department of Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and Measures; however, the County of Los Angeles domain is made up of many departmental and agency Websites linked together to provide a comprehensive information resource to our residents. You may review the privacy statement for each Website within this domain by selecting the "Privacy Policy" link at the bottom of each page.

• No use of "cookies":
  We do not use "cookies" on this site. A "cookie" is a small text file that a Website can place on your computer's hard drive to collect information about your activities on the site. The "cookie" transmits this information back to the Website's computer, which, generally speaking, is the only computer that can read it. Most users do not know that "cookies" are being placed on their computers. If you want to know when this happens or to prevent it from happening, you can set your browser to warn you when a Website attempts to place a "cookie" on your computer.

  With respect to information available from this web page, neither the Department of Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and Measures nor any of its employees make any warranty, express or implied, including the warranty of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, or assume any liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of such information.
