> Collection of personal information is necessary to delivering you the NYT Services or to enhance your customer experience.

I'll grant them delivery in some cases. They have to collect IP addresses, some browser details, info from HTTP headers etc. but they don't have to keep any of it for any longer than it takes to serve pages (although there are good and sane reasons for keeping some of that stuff for a while at least). What kills me every time is "enhance your customer experience" which I assume means present you with ads, track your usage to help us increase the number of clicks/page views/ad impressions, and sell your data to our "partners" who will spam/advertise to you relentlessly.
