There was an adjustment of -1.1% to Page Impressions/Views. Scope of Verification: We have performed sufficient tests of the readership study (print, online and net unduplicated) to be satisfied that the study was conducted in accord with Audit Bureau of Circulations Reader Profile Standards. These standards can be found at http://www.accessabc.com/pdfs/telephonestandards.pdf. Verification of the Web Site Usage data included a review of the domains represented to be associated with the member newspaper's website and, for server based measurements, such other tests as deemed appropriate to confirm compliance to ABCi definitions and standards. This verification does not include ABC participation in the publisher s choice of data provider for web site usage statistics nor should it be construed as an endorsement by ABC of the methodology or technologies used by the data providers. Web Site Usage Definitions: Unique Cookies: This site employs a cookie-based method for reporting of Unique. In the absence of a cookie a combination of the IP address and user agent string is used to establish a Unique. All traffic regardless of the originating location (U.S. or international) is included in this total. Also included in this count may be content from co-branded third party vendors as disclosed in the audit report for this site. This method of accounting identifies an unduplicated cookied or identified browser that accessed the Internet content of the site during the measurement period reported and does not measure a person. No adjustment or correction to the numbers presented in the Audience Fax Web Site Usage, Activity has been made to adjust this number from cookies to people. (i.e. deletion of the cookies from browsers or for users accessing the site from multiple devices or locations.) Additionally, identifying non-cookied users by the IP address & user agent string in combination may over or understate the number of individual people due to dynamic IP addressing. Page Impressions/Views: The combination of one or more files presented to a viewer as a single document as a result of a single request received by the server. In effect, one request by a valid user should result in one Page Impression/ View being reported. The counted page impression may not necessarily be in focus or visible in the user's browser. Cookie: A small piece of information (i.e., program code) that is stored on a browser for the purpose of identifying that browser during audience activity and between visits or sessions. Cookies are typically set to expire. Some cookies are intended to remain on the browser temporarily (for example, during a session) and some are persistent in that they are intended to be retained for longer periods.
