We do not collect tracking COOKIES and only collect information that is anonymous like IP address, user agent string, dates and times, fingerprints and geo-location data. While this is anonymous it does provide some information about your ISP and possibly your computer etc. You can always opt out of providing geo-location information. This site uses PHP and the server can collect anonymous information even if you have JavaScript disables.
If you have looked at our source code you have probably seen tracker.js and geo.js being loaded as well as jquery. tracker.js collects anonymous information and adds it to our databases. geo.js colects geo-location information if you allow and also generates a fingerprint that identifies your computer and browser. Both uses jquery.
If you really want to surf the web anonymously you should go to your local library and use one of their computers. Do not use your email address or any other information while surfing the web. This is probably not the way you want to enjoy the web but it will give you a pretty anonymous footprint.
As stated on our home page the "Home Page at https://www.bartonphillips.com" does not collect tracking COOKIES and only collects anonymous information but other pages you will link to, even on our domain, do collect and use JavaScript extensively.
We will never sell your information (as anonymous as it is) to any third party, mainly because no one has ever asked for it and it has almost no value.

Good luck and have fun.
