DEFINITIONS:
IP address: Every computer connected to the Internet
has a numeric address called an "IP address." This may or may not correspond
uniquely to a particular computer. In some cases, IP addresses can be resolved
to domain names, which may indicate a site visitor's Internet service provider,
employer, university, etc. As part of its database analysis Bitetracker.com resolves
IP addresses to domain names.
Browser type: A user's
browser is a software program running on a computer that allows users to access
documents on the World Wide Web. Browsers can be either text or graphic. They
read HTML coded pages that reside on a server and interpret the coding into what
the user sees as Web pages. Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
are examples of Web browsers. Browser type typically discloses hardware platform,
operating system, and browser software and version.
Referrer:
The referrer is the URI of the Internet resource or page that causes a browser
to request a page or image from Bitetracker.com servers.
