About IP Addresses and Cookies
APILO will collect non-personal identification information through the use of IP address tracking and/or "cookie" technology. We may use IP addresses and/or "cookies" for the purposes of system administration and to collect the number of users to the site, areas you visit on our site, and other similar information. An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When guests request pages from www.thatsnotlove.org our servers log the users IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. However, APILO may, but is not required to, reveal confidential information relating to the representation of a client to the extent that the APILO reasonably believes the disclosure is necessary to prevent a criminal act that APILO reasonably believes is likely to result in death of, or substantial bodily harm to, an individual. In this case APILO may make every effort to use the IP address and/or any other means possible to find the location of that visitor and if it is possible to find their location APILO will ask the police to do a welfare check. This means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us.

This way we know which areas of our site are favorites of our users, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our site.
