11. DATA COLLECTION
Tripologist employs the use of cookies and web beacons on its website. A cookie is a small text file containing information that a web site transfers to your computer for record keeping purposes. We use cookies to analyze traffic patterns on our site. A web beacon is a transparent, 1-pixel image in .gif format that helps us collect data about visitors viewing a web page — for example, to count the number of visitors to a page or to deliver a cookie to visitors’ browsers when they view that page. We may use web beacons on this site from time to time for these and other purposes.

Cookies and web beacons cannot give us access to your computer or to information beyond what you provide to us. Disabling cookies in your browser will prevent us from using cookies or web beacons to collect data about your visit to our site, but you will still be able to view the publicly available information on our web site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies. Consult your browser’s manual or online help if you want information on restricting or disabling the browser’s handling of cookies. If you are using a shared computer and you have cookies turned on, be sure to log off when you finish.

We also collect personal data (e.g., names, e-mail address and IP addresses) on a voluntary basis when you initiate a specific action on our web site (e.g., commenting on a specific blog post or opting-in to our newsletter). Such actions are completely voluntary on your part.
