Beech Acres gathers and analyzes certain general usage information, like the numbers and frequencies of visitors to beechacres.org and its areas – very much like television ratings that tell networks how many people tuned in to a program.

This information is analyzed monthly, allowing us to determine how often the website is accessed, from where the website is accessed, when the website is accessed, and what information is being accessed.
