When you log onto the Internet, your computer connects to your Internet service, declaring its online presence by requesting an IP (Internet protocol) address-- sort of like asking for an assigned seat in an electronic classroom. Your Internet service's computer responds by placing you at a particular set for the session. Some providers assign you a permanent or "static" IP address, but most use temporary ones. This helps assure your privacy, because it's difficult-to-impossible to collect personal information about you via a temporary address.
Our Website reads visitors' IP addresses but does not keep a list or store them anywhere. This gives us broad, generic information such as how many AOL® users log onto TapeProviders.com, and it helps us maintain TapeProviders.com's compatibility with many different Internet services.
TapeProviders.com records browser types and versions so we can answer questions such as, "How many of our visitors were using Internet Explorer 4.0® last month?" That tells us what portions of our Website visitors can and cannot use, motivating us to keep our Website up to date.We record how many people visit each page on our Website. This helps answer questions such as, "What items or pages are drawing a lot of interest this month?"

TapeProviders.com uses Google AdWords Conversion Tracking — an analytics service provided by Google that tells us how many customers click on our Google Ads and proceed to place an order on the website. This is similar to your regular customer shopping experience on the website, but in this case a cookie is only placed when you click on a Google Ad. This cookie expires in 30 days and does not identify personal information about the customer. The cookie provides conversion data as it related to the Google ad that was clicked — allowing TapeProviders.com to provide a better website experience to its customers. Users who do not want to participate in this tracking can easily disable the Google conversion tracking cookie on their Internet browser via the user settings. See the Google Privacy Policy for more information about conversion tracking and the ability to opt out.
