Log Files: Log data is only used in aggregate to analyze usage of our Web site.
Cookies: Our website does collect cookies. It is a small file that a web server automatically sends to your PC when you browse certain websites. Cookies are stored as text files on your hard drive so servers can access them when you return to Web sites you've visited before. Cookies contain information that identifies each user, for example: login or username, passwords, shopping cart information, preferences, and so on. When a user revisits a Web site, his or her computer automatically "serves up" the cookie, which establishes the user's identity, thus eliminating the need for the customer to reenter the information. Basically, the server needs to know this information in order for the Web site to work correctly, and the information is nothing more than a string of letters and numbers. These files are cleared on a regular basis. The server finds the cookie information on your computer, checks with its own information, and if they match, retrieves your file. In order to better protect yourself against identity theft on the user end, please delete your cookies regularly.
Children's Guidelines: UUArts.com is not structured and designed to attract children. Accordingly, we do not intend to collect Personal Information from anyone we know to be under 18 years of age except they are with parental guardians.
Note: UUArts on the Web is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of Web sites to which it may link.
