Most
web sites collect some sort of information about their visitors
in order to gather statistics about how many visitors they
get each month, what are the most and least popular pages on
the web site, where there may be problems in serving certain
pages to visitors, etc. In an effort to answer questions such
as these, Financetime also collects certain basic information
about its visitors.
Please note, however, that Financetime has no interest in personally
identifying its users. This would be practically quite difficult,
and quite an unnecessary task to accomplish anyway. The only
thing that Financetime is interested in is the overall statistics
of its readership. Cumulative figures that provide a picture
of visitor traffic to our site are vital in our efforts to attract
advertisers--upon whose support the site depends--and to monitor
how well our web server is keeping up with our ever-increasing
readership.
