Cookies and IP Address Information
To help make our sites more responsive to the needs of our visitors, we may invoke a standard feature of browser software, called a “cookie,” to assign each visitor a unique, random number—a sort of user ID, if you will, that resides on your computer. The cookie doesn’t identify the visitor, just the computer that a visitor uses to access our site. Unless you voluntarily identify yourself (through registration, for example), we won’t know who you are, even if we assign a cookie to your computer. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie can’t read data off your hard drive.
Our web servers automatically collect limited information about your computer’s connection to the internet, including your IP address, when you visit our sites. (Your IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the internet know where to send you data—such as the web pages you view.) Your IP address does not identify you personally. We use this information to deliver our web pages to you upon request, to tailor our sites to the interests of our users, and to measure traffic within our sites.
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests, to save your password so you don’t have to re-enter it each time you visit our site, and for other purposes.
