Types of Data Collection

tMG may receive data from you as part of the communication connection itself – the standard electronic greeting between your computer, the network, and our servers. This information consists of network routing (where you came from) equipment information (browser type), date and time. At this time our server will also query your computer to see if there are "cookies" set by www.macnealgroup.com to facilitate log in or other site navigation procedures.

A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web server to store on a web browser so it can later be read back from that browser.
