Logs

Doggie-Books.com logs all site visits and transactions.  We collect the same standard stuff: the type of browser you are using, your IP address, ISP domain, time, date, pages viewed, and length of time that you spend visiting our site.  Before you start freaking out -- this data isn't used anywhere but INTERNALLY.  We won't share the specifics with anybody, and we certainly don't care who you are.  Well, so to speak. I mean, we CARE about you, but we don't want to match individual users with their specific Web surfing habits.

On Doggie-Books.com, we only ask for your name and e-mail address.  You don't have to give it to us -- issues can always be viewed via the Web site.  Any information collected will not leave our hands.  People may ask for general numbers, but there's no way we'll give 'em specifics.  We respect your right to electronic anonymity.

We use a visitor's IP address to help diagnose possible problems encountered on our servers.  If there is a future contention, then at least we have records on hand.  An IP address may be used to gather broad demographic information; again, this information is kept internal.  Honestly?  We could care less where you're located on this globe, but our sponsors seem to be attracted to demographic information.  Don't ask us why.  Yell at them, not at us.

If you think that turning off banners is going to make the world a better place, you're wrong.  Free services aren't free to everyone. That being said, we are currently using an internal ad server to deliver targeted advertisements via our newsletter. If you catch something.Doggie-Books.com lingering, it's doing nothing more than offering you an image. Awwww... isn't that nice? We thought so.  That I'm aware of, Doggie-Books.com properties don't give you cookies.  You'll have to turn to your grandmother for that kind of service.  Now, from time to time, external organisations may advertise on our properties. If you wish to know who these companies are at any given time, please ask.  They will vary on any given day -- depending on which programs are working better for us.  Third party privacy policies are different from ours, most likely.

If a cookie comes along, believe me -- irishdogs.ie isn't using it for anything and you have our permission to turn them off altogether.  Sometimes we can't get paid unless identifiers are loaded via the Web site or newsletters.  These images are loaded from affiliate sites.

Doggie-Books.com initial registration form requires you to give us YOUR OWN e-mail address. This is used only for the distribution of our e-mail newsletters.  The personal data is never shared with an outside party, and the subscriber database is never used for purposes other than for distributing the newsletter.  We do not purchase outside lists to build the subscriber databases.  You must step through a confirmed opt-in procedure in order to be accepted into our warm, loving family of irishdogs.ie.  That means you have to submit a subscription request and IMMEDIATELY respond to the specially-coded message which the list server sends to the submitted e-mail address.  Make sense?  Okay, just type in your e-mail address, hit the Submit button, check your Inbox in a few minutes, then reply to the confirmation message to be added to the list.  Easy enough?
