More Information On The Guest User Account
Unlike most web applications, Nutridiary can be accessed completely anonymously.
If you do not want to register you can use our full service as a
guest user. This account is functionally the same as a member account, with the sole
difference of not being able to post messages on our forums.
The main disadvantages of using our service as a guest user are that anyone who has access
to your computer will be able to access your account, and that in certain situations you may
lose access to the data you have stored in our database.
This is due to the fact that when you use Nutridiary as a guest user, you are identified
by means related only to your Internet browser (a "Cookie"). Therefore, your identification will
last only as long as your browser' s Cookie file is maintained.
In case the cookie set by Nutridiary is deleted, you might be able to restore access to
your data, if you contact us and provide enough information, but no guaranties are made.
In detail, the situations under which you may encounter problems are described below.
If you are, accessing Nutridiary as a guest user, your account data will be safe, as
long as you don' t...
- clean out your browser's "Cookie" file, or
- disable your browser's ability to store "Cookies", or
- upgrade your browser (for some browsers).
Also, if you...
- use Nutridiary from more than one computer (e.g. Home and Work), or
- use Nutridiary with different browsers (e.g. MS Internet Explorer and Netscape Communicator),
a different guest account will be created and you won't be able to access your previously stored
data, until you return to the original computer, or browser.
If you have decided to continue using Nutridiary as a guest user, you should know that you
can register at anytime, and that all your account data will be transferred to your member account
as soon as you do.
Otherwise, if you want a persistent account, please
register. Notice, that we have kept the personal information you provide to an absolute
minimum and that we do not pass on your details to third parties.
