But it is important to note that every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's "Internet Protocol" IP address. When a visitor requests a page from within the Johns Hopkins Health Alerts site, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site.
Our website may use "cookies". Cookies are small computer files that we transfer to your computer's hard drive that allow us to collect information. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate, but do not collect and evaluate this information for individuals. Aggregate information is non-personal information about you that does not allow you to be identified or contacted, and is combined with the non-personal information of other visitors. This information simply tells us about the traffic and activity on our website, such as what pages within the site are most popular, how much time visitors spend on the site, and how often they return. Johns Hopkins Health Alerts will not provide this aggregate information to third parties.
Our Web servers do not capture and record email addresses of the visitors unless users expressly sign up for our free email alerts, or users wish to utilize the enhanced features of the Johns Hopkins Health Alerts site, such as the interactive forums/comment areas, and the My Health Library Feature for storing alerts and special reports.
You can set your browser to reject all cookies. By using the Help button in most browsers, instructions on how to reject and remove cookies can be found. The rejection of cookies in your browser will disable the ability of our website to remember your user name, if, for example, you were using our interactive forums, and will require you to input your login information each time you visit. Any identifying information on an individual, such as your name in the interactive forums, appears on the site only through consent of the individual.
