Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" or IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any web site within the PaperHost network, our web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address.

We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically record e-mail addresses of the visitors.

You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies, or allow your browser to show you when a cookie is being sent.
