Your IP Address
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer every time you browse the Internet. When a user requests a page from the Site, our servers will log the user's current IP address. AI2 uses IP addresses to help diagnose problems with its servers and to administer the Site.

The Site is developed using Active Server Pages (ASP), and AI2 uses per-session "cookies" (pieces of data your browser stores in your computer's memory at AI2's request) to establish user sessions on our server.
