Tracking
Activity On Our Web Site
When you browse dailycruisenews.com and have not subscribed for any
online services from dailycruisenews.com, you browse anonymously.
Personally identifiable information—such as your name, address,
phone number, and e-mail address—is not collected as you browse.
However, we track how our site is used by both anonymous
visitors and our subscribers. One way we track is by using a small
string of text that is sent to your browser known as a "cookie." Cookies
collect information that includes the server your computer is logged
onto, your browser type (for example, Netscape or Internet Explorer),
and whether you responded to a dailycruisenews.com banner ad from
outside our site or through an e-mail link. A cookie cannot retrieve
any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or
capture your e-mail address or any other personally identifiable information.
Please note that accepting cookies is required if you want to view
personal or confidential information online, because they are essential
for site administration and security.
Another way we track site activity is by using transparent
electronic images called "clear GIFs," "Web bugs," or "Web beacons"
on dailycruisenews.com Web pages. These images count the number of
users who visit that page from specific banner ads outside dailycruisenews.com
or through e-mail links. A similar image, sometimes called a "Spotlight
Tag," is used on dailycruisenews.com Web pages where transactions
take place. The Tag collects numeric information, such as a list resulting
from a search, to help us understand usage of the site. We do not
use any of these electronic images to collect personally identifiable
information.
