4) WHY are we collecting this data?

Cookies are used only for various site functions (e.g. have you made a vote in one of the site polls, for example).

Web server logs are only kept for the site’s security (to perform audits on potential cracking attacks, for example).

Google analytics and adsense are kept by Google itself. Analytics is used for us to help improve the site, make it more interesting for you, the reader, and give us an idea of how the site is progressing.

We use this data to enhance you, the reader’s, enjoyment of the site, and to make any changes to the site and its content necessary to provide you with a more enjoyable and informative site.

6) HOW is the data collected?

Email addresses are collected when a user registers with the site.

Cookies are generated on specific functions of the site – site polls, for example. You can use your web browser to keep track of and examine any cookies generated by this site.

Access logs are generated by default by the web server.

Google Analytics and Adsense keep track of their own information – again, you should read Google’s Provacy Policy to be kept fully aware of their policies involving your privacy.
