We collect general site server statistical information from all visitors to the Electronic Valley, both to monitor utilization and for site security purposes. While this information contains such features as the machine (IP) address you are using, as well as the date, time and file(s) requested, it typically cannot be used to identify you on an individual basis.

Those involved in maintaining (i.e. actively posting new/modified information to) the Electronic Valley should be advised that, for security purposes, these posting activities are tracked on a more detailed basis, including user account information.

Persistent client side data ("cookies") are used for some features on the site. At present, these data are only used to provide a "session state" for programming purposes and are not utilized to identify you or your browser beyond a single session.
