Web Site Log Files:  Like most web sites log files are generated that show the IP Address of the visitor, date, time, and pages visited.  Aggregate reports for web site visitors are generated that do not contain personally identifiable information.   Advertising reports are generated that show the IP addresses of visitors who clicked on ads.  This information may be sent to the advertiser to confirm the advertising fee charged.  The advertiser already has this information as a result of the user clicking on the ad.  No additional information about the visitor is supplied to the advertiser.  The log files are eventually deleted.

Cookies:  Internet 'cookies' are not used except for  Global2000hosting.com/Pridehosting.com Group web store for the purchase of services.

Persistent cookies are placed on the user's system for the demonstration pages at Privacy.net.  These cookies remain on the user's system and are automatically retrieved when a user visits at a later time.  For the privacy analysis page the demonstration shows the date the user visited previously.  

The web store uses 'session' cookies that expire in about 20 minutes.  They are used so a user can shop and maintain a list of items ordered in their "shopping cart" and have a total due calculated.  A user does not have to supply any personal information unless they decide to complete an order and pay via credit card.  Orders can also be printed and paid by mail or phone without entering any information.

No Third Party Downloads:  No Images, files, or cookies are downloaded from third party servers.  This means no banner networks, hidden "web bugs" (images of size 1x1 pixel used to track users).  More than 80% of affiliate and advertising requests are rejected by Global2000hosting.com/Pridehosting.com Group because of this requirement.
