IP Address. An Internet Protocol ("IP") address is a unique
string of numbers that is assigned to your computer by your
Internet Service Provider. Web servers automatically identify
your computer by its IP address. We will use your IP address
to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer
our Sites. Your IP address also may be used to gather broad
demographic information.

on your hard drive when you visit certain Web sites. We use

cookies. Advertisers and partners may also use their own cookies.
