Information We Collect
We collect information from you when you use our website. This information falls into the following categories:
Log Files

The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This information is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement around the site, and gather demographic information.

Cookies
mrouk.com uses cookies to store information about visitors’ preferences, to record user-specific information on which pages the site visitor accesses or visits, and to personalize or customize our web page content based upon visitors’ browser type or other information that the visitor sends via their browser.
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies.

Web Beacons
We also use web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) to help us understand how visitors interact with our website and email communications. Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users.
