Like most web site owners, we are very interested
in knowing how many people visit our site, so we receive and
keep general statistics about the traffic to us. We are mainly
interested in how many people visited, and where they
arrived from. This helps us to measure the effectiveness of
our promotional efforts, such as search engine listings. The
server we are on generates standard access log files, which
we save for the purpose of understanding general trends in traffic.
The logs contain IP information, but we have no way of
personally identifying visitors. We cannot decipher your name
or email address. In the event of a malicious hacking attempt,
we would send copies of the logs to the originating ISP (which
we can identify.)
Cookies are short strings of letters and numbers
which are sent to a web-surfer's computer, often for keeping track
of small pieces of information as s/he clicks from one page to another.
A common use is to hold session data, such as might be necessary when
making a purchase online which involves multiple HTML pages, forms,
or templates.
The NZSite.co.nz domain itself uses cookies
as part of the mechanism that causes the banner advertisements
to change each time a page is loaded. Also, many of the banner
advertisements are served by third-party ad networks, which
transmit cookies. The primary purpose for these is for accounting
purposes, to match up click-throughs and sales at a sponsor's
site with a banner on a referring site (ours.) Another purpose
is to keep track of which banners have been shown during a visit,
to avoid showing the same one repeatedly. Those banners pay
the expenses here, and keep this site online.
Our only uses of javascript are in the date
indicator and news headline feed on the index page, and part
of the banner-graphic serving mechanism that makes the banners
change each time a page loads. We do not have any Java
applets or ActiveX controls anywhere on the site.
If you seriously object to receiving the javascript
or cookies, study your browser's "Help" files to learn how
to turn them off. (You will still be able to view our site.)
We will never sell, rent, or otherwise distribute
email addresses of people who contact us, and we will never
send unsolicited bulk email (commonly known as "spam.")
We will never link to or recommend a company or service
which, in our sole discretion, appears to be fraudulent. However,
like other media outlets (ranging from television stations to phone
books), we cannot accept responsibility for the actions of our advertisers
and other companies listed on our site. It is the consumer's responsibility
to personally determine the suitability of a particular company that
s/he may wish to do business with.
If you have any further concerns or comments
on these issues, contact us at webmaster@nzsite.co.nz
