Tim can address this more properly, but basically, Stamporama is not collecting ANY data.
Tim's programming makes extensive use of PHP sessions in order to provide all the features specific to the user's navigation of the site, but this stuff is not stored nor used in any other way.
Beyond that, I am not sure what data you are referring to.

Roy is correct in what he said above. I make use of session variables and cookies to enable session control between multiple screens e.g. the New Auction Lot process. I keep a log of the last 1000 emails the system sends to each member so I know whether or not an email was sent or not when people say they aren't getting emails from Stamporama. I collect IP addresses to keep track of people who want to create multiple membership accounts. That is all the data that I can think of that we collect. Oh, I also make use of Google Analytics. That might be what you are referring to HockeyNut.
Does that answer your question? Feel free to send me an SOR Message if you have further questions.
Regards ... Tim.

A look back at the history of web analytics helps explain the trends in how and where we track today. The evolution of JavaScript tags to track client-side in the late 90’s meant that many people migrated from the log file analysis of the early 90’s to JavaScript tracking. People realized that by using JavaScript tags, you could capture far more information about your users and set device and session identifiers in your cookies, making it easier to identify users over time and divide browsing into sessions. Alongside this, people were starting to serve content via CDNs and delivering functionality client-side with JavaScript via AJAX - neither of these hit the server, therefore reinforcing the importance of client-side tracking.
But why is SOR collecting my (and your) DATA ???
