purposes and Saint Sebastian Church sometimes performs
analyses of user behavior in order to measure user interest in
the various areas of our site.
- We do not give, sell or transfer any
personal information to a third party.
- The only cookies in use are Session
cookies, which are encrypted information about the SessionID of

(2) Information Collected and Stored Automatically
If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the web
site, read pages, or download information, we will gather and
store certain information about your visit automatically.
This information does not identify you personally. We
automatically collect and store only the following information
about your visit:
- The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a
private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you
connect from a university's domain) and IP address (an IP
address is a number that is automatically assigned to your
computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access
our website;
- The type of browser and operating system
used to access our site;
- The date and time you access our site;
- The pages you visit; and
- If you linked to the Saint Sebastian Church web site from another web site, the address of that
web site.
We use this information to help us make our
site more useful to visitors -- to learn about the number of
visitors to our site and the types of technology our visitors
use. We do not track or record information about individuals and
their visits.
Below is an example of the information collected based on a
standard request for a World Wide Web document:
xxx.yyy.com - - [28/Jan/1997:00:00:01 -0500]
"GET /sitename/news/nr012797.html HTTP/1.0" 200 16704
Mozilla 3.0/www.altavista.digital.com
xxx.yyy.com (or 123.123.23.12) -- this is the host name (or IP
address) associated with the requester (you as the visitor).
In this case, (....com) the requester is coming from a
commercial address. Depending on the requestor's method of
network connection, the host name (or IP address) may or may not
identify a specific computer. Connections via many
Internet Service Providers assign different IP addresses for
each session, so the host name identifies only the ISP.
The host name (or IP address) will identify a specific computer
if that computer has a fixed IP address.
[28/Jan/1997:00:00:01 -0500] -- this is the date and time of the
request
"GET /sitename/news/nr012797.html HTTP/1.0" -- this is the
location of the requested file
200 -- this is the status code - 200 is OK - the request was
filled
16704 -- this is the size of the requested file in bytes
Mozilla 3.0 -- this identifies the type of browser used to
access the page, which indicates what design parameters to use
in constructing the pages
www.altavista.digital.com -- this
indicates the last site the person visited, which indicates how
people find this site
Requests for other types of documents use similar information.
No other user-identifying information is collected.
