These "access logs" allow us to make our site more useful to our visitors. The access logs do not record a visitor's name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, or any other personally identifying information. Rather, these log files may contain some or all of the following information:
We may track your visit to sections of our Web sites in order for some site features to function properly for you.

If you do not wish to accept a cookie from American Public Media's servers, you can adjust the settings on your browser accordingly. Refusing to accept cookies from the American Public Media server may result in some limits on the benefits that we can automatically provide as you enjoy the American Public Media Web sites.

These surveys may ask you for demographic information such as ZIP code, age, education, or income level.
