Cookies

This web site does not use cookies.

What's collected:

• the date and time
• your IP address
• what web page you asked for
• what credentials, if any, you used
• whether the request succeeded, or why it failed
• what web page, if any, referred you to this page
• whatever other information your web browser volunteers, which is solely determined by your browser. Web servers have no control over what's sent. Often, it includes
  • the browser's name and version
  • some of the browser's features and capabilities, and
  • the operating system it's running under.

What's done with that information:

• Check for intrusion/compromise attempts and where they're coming from
• Look to see what's being accessed and maybe tally how popular each page has been
• Check for access failures (e.g., access to something may fail if there's a typo in a link to it)
• Check for improper access success (e.g., to restricted content without proper credentials).
• Check total server load against allotted capacity.

The logs will be kept indefinitely.
