What happens when you visit PLAN Homes’ website?

This IP Address, which contains information regarding the location of your computer on the internet, your country of origin and the name of your internet service provider (ISP), is automatically logged by GAP’s website.

When you visit a website, your web browser automatically downloads a copy of the web pages and pictures that you view to your hard disk.

Why do we log your IP address?

What is an IP address?

When you first started your internet session (i.e. your computer connected to the internet) your computer was automatically assigned a unique: an IP Address. This is your computer’s unique address on the internet. Without that IP Address, websites would not be able to deliver their content to you as they would not be able to find your computer on the internet.

Because each time you disconnect and reconnect to the internet a new IP Address is automatically assigned to your computer, IP Addresses are not suitable for us to identify you as an individual.

How do we collect your IP Address?

Each time you visit a page within this website your computer sends out a message to GAP’s website asking for the content. This message sent by your computer also encloses your IP Address as a form of “return address” so that GAP’s website may find your computer on the internet in order to send it the requested content. GAP’s web-server automatically logs all these messages.

What do we do with your IP Address?

When we log your IP Address, the data collected is grouped up with the other logged IP addresses in order to provide us with statistics on visitors to the site, such as the geographic location of visitors, how long they stay on GAP’s site, which are the most viewed pages and other matters.

Collecting this information allows us to administer GAP’s site, diagnose potential server problems, analyse visitor trends and statistics, and generally helps us provide you with a better experience.

Cookies & Ad Words

What are cookies?

“Cookies” are small text files that are sent by websites so that the website can remember who you are. Without cookies, websites and their servers have no memory. A cookie, like a key, enables the website to remember users that have already visited. Without a cookie, every time you open a new web page the server where that page is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor.
