This information helps us determine how people are finding out about us. Logging the referrer page does not reveal any personal information about you. Like most hosting services, our hosting service tells us which pages visitors to our site hit first. It also tells us which pages visitors read the most, and which pages visitors leave from. We use this information to determine which pages draw the most readers, which ones hold their attention, and which ones lose their attention.
Many sites use page logs to determine the flow of traffic through their sites.
They are like counting how many people enter a department store through the various doors into the store, how many visit each department, and how many leave through each door. Remember that we are counting numbers, not collecting names. The page logs reveal the IP addresses of visitors to our sites. Your computer's IP address is a unique number that it is given each time it goes onto the Web. Your Internet service provider should, and probably does, give you a different IP address every time you go onto the Web.
