Log Files

Like the 99% of the websites in the Internet, I collect and use the data contained in log files.  The information in the log files include  your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit the site, the time you visited the site and which pages you visited throughout the site. This helps me understand how the website works and how to improve it so you get a better experience when you come back.

Cookies and Web Beacons

I use cookies to store information and improve your overall user experience, such as your name when you submit a comment, the next time you want to comment your name is already typed in.

I also use third party advertisements on xaviesteve.com to support the site.  Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on the site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed.  This is generally used for geo-targeting purposes (showing London music concert ads to someone in London, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

You can chose to disable or selectively turn off the cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings.  However, this can affect how you are able to interact with the site as well as other websites.  This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts. Cookies sound scary but they are not, there’s few harm in them and if a website was to use them illicitly Google and some antivirus would ban it quickly.
