the search terms that users enter in our
Search function, but this tracking is never
associated with individual users. We use
tracking information to determine which
areas of our sites users like and don't like
based on traffic to those areas. We do not
track what individual users read, but rather
how well each page performs overall. This
helps us continue to build a better service
for you.
