Information Collected and Stored Automatically
For site security purposes and
to ensure that this service remains available to all users, NCUA employs
software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized
attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.
For site management, information is collected for statistical purposes. Computer software programs
are used to create summary statistics, which are
used for such purposes as assessing what information
is of most and least interest, determining technical
design specifications, and identifying system performance
or problem areas. No personal information, such as
your name or address, is collected or used for this
analysis. We collect no information which would 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 web site
- The date and
time you access our site
- The pages you
visit and the result of the request, such as an
image or query
- Other status
codes and values resulting from the Web server
responding to the request received: HTTP status
code, Windows NT code, number of bytes sent, number
of bytes received, duration (in seconds) to fulfill
the request, server port number addressed, and

NCUA does not use "cookies." (A "cookie" is

when placement of a cookie is requested and decide whether or not to accept
it.
