Aggregate information

In addition to information provided by our donors, we use the normal Internet tracking tools associated with standard Internet protocols and web based systems. This system information is typically stored in log files and the information is used for aggregate reporting. Aggregate reporting includes: total number of visitors, most visited sections, peak traffic times, etc. Log files are simply transaction records web servers maintain. Those logs are used for recording information, such as:

  • Service provider IP addresses
  • Browser versions
  • Referring Websites
  • Search terms used
  • Average number of pages requested
  • Average duration of visit
  • Total visitor traffic

We use aggregate information gathered from your visit to better design our Website. This information supplies us with a broad picture of how people use our Website in order to help the management of our systems and to better serve our audience. We will never trade, share or sell aggregate information with anyone else nor send mailings on behalf of other organizations.
