As with many websites we collect and use data contained in log files. This includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the browser you visit the site from, and which pages you visited throughout the site. CloudFlare (https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/) is the content delivery network (CDN) we use for optimising traffic distribution.
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums. We also use third party advertisements / analytics to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our 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 geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).
We use Google Analytics to help us understand who uses the website. Google privacy statement is here https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. You can opt-out of Google Analytics here https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
