Log Files
The Stanley Foundation's Web server, like most servers, collects information about you and stores it in log files. This information is gathered and stored each time you access the site. These logs do not collect personal information, such as your name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, or any other personally identifying information. The information from the log file is not connected to the information that you entered in the form. Our log files contain the following information:

• The Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) of the machine that accessed our Web site.
• The date and time of the visit.
• The browser being used.
• Any errors encountered.

Most Internet Service Providers (ISP) use a dynamic form of assigning IP Addresses. This means that you often have a different IP Address each time you visit this site. Many other ISPs (such as AOL) use Proxy Servers that further protect your anonymity.

The Stanley Foundation's site uses a "cookie" to more accurately track your visit. This is a small file stored on your computer that uniquely identifies your machine. No personal information is stored in a "cookie." If you do not wish to accept a "cookie" from The Stanley Foundation's servers, you can adjust the settings in your browser accordingly. Refusing to accept a "cookie" does not affect how the site works.

By analyzing our logs, we can better understand which features work well and which features may not. The information gathered from the log files is used exclusively by The Stanley Foundation and is NEVER shared with any other company or organization.
