When you visit the www.tradepalms.org web site, we capture the internet provider's domain name and country of origin (e.g., aol.com) and the paths taken as you move from page to page (i.e., your "click stream" activity).

  • Arrange the web site in the most user-friendly way
  • Customize your browsing experience of this web site

www.tradepalms.org only collects personal information that you choose to provide voluntarily when using or requesting information from us. "Personal information" includes data that can identify you as a specific individual such as your name or email address.

About Cookies
www.tradepalms.org uses cookie technology as part of our web site's statistical reporting. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a website that is saved on your hard disk by your computer's browser.  It holds information a site may need to personalize your experience (i.e., rotating images on www.tradepalms.org home page) and to gather web site statistical data.  This data may include which pages are visited, what is downloaded, the internet provider's domain name and country of origin (e.g. aol.com, or umich.edu), and the addresses of sites visited immediately before and after coming to www.tradepalms.org.  However, none of this is associated with you as an individual.  It is measured only in aggregate.  The information in the cookies lets us trace your "click stream" activity.  Cookies do not capture your individual email address or any private information about you.

We also use standard web server log files to help us count visitors and evaluate our site's technical capacity. We use this information to find out how many people visit www.tradepalms.org.  It assists us in arranging the pages in the most user-friendly way, keeping the site browser-friendly, and making our pages more useful to our visitors.  We record information on site traffic but not information on individual visitors to our site.  Thus, no information about you in particular will be kept or used.

To browse without cookies, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set. (Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.)
