Information Sharing and Disclosure
CLI shares aggregated demographic information about our user base with our partners. This information does not identify individual users. We may use it to let our partners know how many people are using the Site and how. It also might be used to learn about the geographic location of our users or other ways to make the experience better for you. We will also use it to report aggregate statistics on site utilization in order to measure the outcomes of CLI’s online presence.
Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, CLI gathers certain information automatically and stores it in log files. This information may include, but is not limited to, Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and click stream data.
CLI may use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the Site, to track users’ movements around the Site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
CLI does not link this automatically collected data to personally identifiable information. CLI uses a third-party tracking service [Google Analytics] that uses cookies [log files] to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to the Site in the aggregate (i.e. user paths, entrance pages, exit pages, most visited pages, most clicked links) to help us understand better visitor behavior on the Site so we can improve the Site’s user interface and provide additional content in content categories that are most popular amongst Site users.

You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser’s “help” file. For more information about cookies, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie.
