Website Visitors

Like most website operators, The Chinle Cactus Club collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

From time to time, The Chinle Cactus Club may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
