Page Tracking

Like all web sites, we have the ability to see IP addresses of users who visit our site, and the pages that those IP addresses visited, and at what times. In addition to the normal logging of web accesses provided by the Apache web server, we log every page access into an SQL database for real time analysis.

This information is useful to determine:

• How people find the web site
• If the information on this web site is organized in a useful manner
• Links within the web site that may be broken
• Web Traffic and trends to predict future growth of the service
• Statistical data which is useful to our sponsors

Third Party Advertising

From time to time, this website hosts third party advertising in the form of banners. By placing these banners on our web pages, your activities may be tracked by the advertiser.

We do not disclose any information to third parties that is personally identifiable.

Starting in February, 2001, FindAnISP.com intered agreements with several ISPs that pay FindAnISP.com a referral fee if you indicate to the ISP that you found them through the FindAnISP.com directory. Some referral arrangements are automatic, as the ISP will place a cookie onto your PC to let them know how you arrived at their site. ISPs that pay us a referral fee are identified as such in the directory.

Cookies

As of 5/26/2001, we are actively using cookies on the findanisp.com website. The use of cookies permits us to track the activites of individual users and how they have navigated through to the ISP websites. This information is critical to determine how users found our directory and whether they found the information here useful. We pay third parties to promote the web site, and accurate tracking is essential to identify sources of people interested in finding an ISP.

The site will function correctly with cookies inhibited, however it may make it more difficult for us to accurately measure how well the web site is functioning.

Submission of Rating information about an ISP is voluntary.

We require an email address with a rating to:

• Permit us to contact you if we have questions about the information you've provided
