ALTHOUGH ALEXA<br /> DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO ANALYZE WEB USAGE DATA TO DETERMINE THE IDENTITY<br /> OF ANY ALEXA USER, SOME INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THE SOFTWARE IS<br /> PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE. ALEXA AGGREGATES AND ANALYZES THE INFORMATION<br /> IT COLLECTS TO IMPROVE ITS SERVICE AND TO PREPARE REPORTS ABOUT<br /> AGGREGATE WEB USAGE AND SHOPPING HABITS.<br /> nuff said?<br /> Dont allow anything to hijack your browser..</p> http://sbp.teledyn.com/node/412#comments Community SBP Internet Thu, 28 Oct 2004 02:39:58 -0400 bub 412 at http://sbp.teledyn.com
