There is a range of information we need to collect about you so that we may serve our members and visitors. This information may include:

For example, our websites log your IP address, operating system type, browser type, the referring website, pages you viewed, and access times. We also collect information about actions you take when using our sites, such as authors you follow, comments you make on posted materials, and the resources you have viewed and liked.

Cookies. We may log information using "cookies." Cookies are small data files stored on your device by a website. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience.
