Web Site Traffic Information 

Because of the way that World Wide Web communication standards work, when you arrive at or leave the Zone 8 Web site, we automatically receive the Web address of the site that you came from or are going to. We also collect information on which pages of our Web site you visit while you are on the Zone 8 site, the type of browser you use and the times you access our Web site.

We use this information only to try to understand our members' preferences better and to improve our service and your experience with Zone 8. We do not track the Web sites that you visit before or after you leave the Zone 8 site.

Our Use of "Cookies"  

"Cookies" are small files of data that reside on your computer and allow us to recognize you as a Zone 8 member if you return to the Zone 8 site using the same computer and browser. We send a "cookie" to your computer when you log in with your Zone 8 account by entering your username and password. These cookies allow us to recognize you if you visit multiple pages in our site during the same session, so that you don't need to re-enter your password multiple times.

Internet Address Information 

We use IP addresses, browser types and access times to analyze trends, administer the site, improve site performance and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.
