Like most website operators, Woolcrate 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. Woolcrate’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Woolcrate’s visitors use its website.
