Site Traffic Monitoring
We use various tools to determine how people find and use our sites. This helps us to determine what content people find the most useful and to better direct our marketing so that others can more readily find us. These tools may record your IP address. An IP or “Internet Protocol” address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the Internet. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. Your IP address and other site usage data are used to gather broad demographic information. This data helps us serve you by allowing us to understand how visitors use our web sites. We normally do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a Customer’s session will be logged, but the Customer remains anonymous to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a Customer when We feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our Terms of Use or to protect our service, web site, customers or others.
Cookies
Various portions of our sites may also use “cookies” which are small files stored by your browser to help keep track of Your user profile. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information. Cookies are used to remember your personal profile for your convenience, to deliver content specific to your needs and interests, and to ensure you do not see the same ad repeatedly. We also use cookies to track user trends and improve areas of our web sites that our users find valuable. The use of cookies is an industry standard found at most major web sites.
You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers and or affiliate marketing links made available on our site.
