Guitar Nine collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers.
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve" up Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
When visitors request pages from Guitar Nine sites, our servers log the visitors' IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us.

You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. Guitar Nine does not control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to the Guitar Nine cookies policy. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.
