Our web servers automatically recognize a visitor's IP address, the point of entry from which a visitor enters our site; such as web pages and search engines, which pages a visitor visits on our site, which images are viewed, and how much time a visitor spends on our site. This information is not linked to any personally identifiable information about the visitor. We aggregate this information and use it to evaluate and improve our website. We do not track user activity on sites outside of Early American Rug Hooking.
