Tracking

I don't directly track your presence on this website. Your IP address is logged and I look at the server logs on occasion, but this is in an aggregate fashion for the purpose of determining why people come to our website. What I'm most interested in specifically are two things: The websites that link to our website and send traffic here, and what keywords people use to find our website via search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN.

Links and comments

If you leave a link in a comment, I'll probably follow the link, even if the link is a Blogger.com profile. I'm assuming you want me to find you if you make your contact information easily findable.

Cookies

I don't directly set cookies from our website, but I do run a number of scripts from providers such as Google, Haloscan, and Blogger. All of these set web browser cookies. Google in particular quietly collects a tremendous amount of data on your browsing habits, and our website participates in that data collection. If that bugs you, please drop me a line to let me know how you feel about this and I'll consider removing Google's service.
