Information We Collect

For each visitor to our web page, our web server automatically recognizes the browser type, the operating system, whether javascript is enabled, whether the browser accepts cookies, has plugins, the monitor size, the monitor bit-depth, the time of day, day of the week, time spent on a particular page, the path through the site, entry pages, exit pages, whether ActiveX is enabled, the server referral, search keywords, search phrases, and repeat visits to pages.

We collect email and other contact information via forms for our Bookstore account and shopping cart forms, our Events account and registration forms, our bulletin board registration form, our contact form, and any forms for online newsletters. Other information related to activities for our Bookstore, Events and bulletin board may be collected in addition to the contact information. When ordering publications or registering for events, you may be asked to provide a credit card number. The LGC temporarily stores that information in a secured database.
