Cookies

This site uses cookies to store specific pieces of information on YOUR computer. We do not know, for example, what operas are in your "My Favorite Operas" list. We DO know that someone may have 'La Boheme' on their 'My Favorite Operas' list but we don't know who that person is. If you have disabled cookies, javascript, etc. you will not be able to store information in the 'My Favorite Operas' list.

About our commerce links -- Near the bottom of some resource pages you will find links (for CDs, DVDs, sheetmusic, etc.) to Amazon and SheetMusicPlus. We encourage you to show your support for this site by clicking on those links if you are interested in making a purchase online. Yes, we receive a small percentage of each sale, which is used to pay for server charges, etc. You will note that we placed the commerce links and ad banners at the BOTTOM of each resource page, unlike some commerce-driven sites that bombard you with ad banners and CD cover images at the tops of each page.

AllAboutOpera takes your online privacy very seriously. Therefore, unless you explicitly state otherwise, or we explicitly state otherwise, any data that we collect as a result of your use of the site remains confidential.

Why do we collect ANY data on our users? Like many web sites, we collect non-personally identifiable information about our users primarily for three purposes:

• to analyze our traffic patterns
  
• to target advertisements
  
• to personalize our service for individuals or groups of users

In this statement, we let you know all of the ways that we collect data on our users, and how we use that data. If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail us at Contact Us.

Log Files

In almost all cases, when you go to a web site, web servers log your interaction with the site in something called a log file. Standard log files like ours contain basic information like what time what pages were viewed, and the IP address of the visitor. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. We make no effort to identify IP addresses with individual users.

When we share log file information with our advertisers, partners, or anyone else, we only do it in the aggregate. For example, "Our average user looks at x number of pages on each visit."


Links

This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that the AllAboutOpera is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this site.
