What happens when you visit the site?

Each time you connect to the Internet, or if you use a permanent connection such as Broadband or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), when you start or restart the computer, you automatically assign a unique identification number that is known as the Internet Protocol (IP) address of this address. Which contains information about the location of your computer on the Internet (your home country) and the name of your Internet service provider (ISP), is automatically registered by our website.

What is an IP address

When you first start your Internet session (that is, when your computer is connected to the Internet), a unique number has been assigned to your computer automatically (usually within a range of nine or ten decimal numbers), known as the Internet Protocol (IP) address, this is the unique address of your computer on the Internet. Without this IP address, websites will not be able to deliver their content to you because they will not be able to find your computer on the Internet, because each time you disconnect and reconnect to the Internet, a new IP address is automatically assigned to your computer. As such, IP addresses are not inherently able to identify you as an individual (at least, on their own). However, the IP address contains information about the location of your computer on the Internet (your country) and the name of your Internet service provider (ISP).

How do we collect your IP address?

Every time you visit a page on our website, your computer sends a message to our website requesting the content. The message that your computer sends also includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address as a form of return Address so that the website can find your computer to send the content you requested by clicking on the page. Our web server automatically records all of these messages.

What do we do with your IP address?

When we register your IP address, the data collected with other registered IP addresses are collected in order to provide us with geo-location statistics for visitors to our site, how long they remain on our site, which pages are more viewed, and other statistical reasons. We automatically collect your IP address and store it in log files. These files also contain information about your browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), operating system, date and time stamp, click-through data, and files that are displayed on our website. Collecting this type of information allows us to create aggregated information for our website, including general user trends and online activities (such as the number of unique visitors, frequently accessed pages, or search terms entered). It also allows us to manage our website, diagnose any potential server issues, analyze visitor trends and data, and generally help us provide you with a better Internet experience, for these reasons IP addresses are not stored for too long.
