Server Logs

The web server stores a variety of information about each connection. In particular, it makes note of the ip address you are connecting from, when the connection was made, the browser you are using, the page you came from, and the page you are requesting. I periodically scan my log files for statistical information, but do not release the specifics.

The Archive

The oldtools archive carries its own privacy statement which is completely consistent with this one
