Net Zero Power encourages you to review the privacy statements of web sites you choose to link to from Net Zero Power so that you can understand how those web sites collect, use and share your information.

Non User Provided Information and Cookies

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by Net Zero Power. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by Net Zero Power for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Net Zero Power web site.

The Net Zero Power site uses "cookies" to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Net Zero Power pages, or register with the Net Zero Power site or services, a cookie helps Net Zero Power recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Net Zero Power web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Net Zero Power features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of Net Zero Power services or web sites you visit.
