Your information is used to customize and improve your visits. Registered members enter basic information about themselves to gain the ability to create member profiles, edit email subscriptions, change any of the material they have added to AncientFaces, and communicate with other members. We may also collect various pieces of visitor information to track the use of our web site. This information might include the visitor's domain name or IP address, and the visitor's browser and platform type. All collected information is kept strictly secure and private and is never shared.

Use of cookies:

AncientFaces uses cookies for registered member sessions. The information is erased once you leave the site. When you sign in to your profile as a registered member, a cookie is activated to let our web site know that you are logged in. This enables your membership functions.
