Information tracked includes the type of browser being used by the visitor (e.g., Netscape, Internet Explorer), the type of operating system (e.g., Macintosh, Windows) in use by the visitor and the domain name of the visitor's Internet service provider (e.g., America Online). By having this information, we seek to provide an optimal experience to every visitor. Other uses of this information include internal review of the number of visitors to the sites but only in an aggregate and non-personally-identifiable form.
