Information Gathered
Sometimes we use a feature of your browser called a “cookie” to assign a “User ID”. Cookies, by themselves, cannot be used to find out the identity of any user. Your Joe Whiting Music User ID automatically identifies your computer - but not you - to our servers when you visit our site. This random number lets us keep track of “How many” times customers/visitors are doing specific things - like visiting our site each month. Unless you specifically tell us, Joe Whiting Music will never know who you are, even though we assign your computer a cookie.
Other companies which may place advertising on our site also have the ability to assign a different cookie to you in a process that Joe Whiting Music does not control.
