Lots of persons interact everyday with web sites around the world. Massive amount of data are being generated and these information could be much respected to the company in the field of accepting Client’s behaviours. Web usage mining is relative independent, but not sequestered category, which mainly describes the techniques that discover the user's usage pattern and try to predict the user's behaviours. Web usage mining is the area of data mining which deals with the novelty and study of usage patterns with use of Web log data. Specifically web logs in direction to advance web based applications. User’s identification is, to identify who access Web site and which pages are accessed. If users have login of their information, it is easy to identify users. In fact, there are masses of users do not register their information. In fact there are great numbers of users access Web sites through, agent, numerous users use the same computer, firewall’s existence, independent user use different browsers, and so forth. All of difficulties mark this job greatly complicated and very tough, to identify every unique user accurately. We may use cookies to track users’ behaviours. But considering somebody privacy, many users do not practice cookies, so it is needed to find other methods to solve this problem. For users who use the similar computer or use the similar agent, how to find them? As presented in [9], it uses heuristic method to solve the problem, if a page is requested that is not directly reachable by a hyperlink with some of the, pages visited by the user, the experiential assumes that there is another user with the equal computer or with the equal IPaddress. Doru Tanasa and Brigitte Trousse [4] presents a method called navigation ... ... middle of paper ... ...onsideration from web server. It designated to permit companies to use cookies to learning online visitor behaviour. But, Check the convenience of methods to control cookies actuality on the computer, they are frequently restricted by the users. USER IDENTIFICATION BY THE REFERRAL LOG The method used here is this. Parameter REFERER_URL collected with the access log and site topology are used to concept browsing tracks for each user see (Cooley et al. 1999). If after the set of pages a new page appears which is not accessible from the previously viewed pages, a new user is anticipated. Additional condition by which a new user is expected is when in a path of before viewed pages there seems a page already navigated. This situation is very limited and not accurate. It does not receive repeated pages in the same user in same session what is very public in actual life.
The most lucrative business on the Internet is marketing. Companies have come up with ingenious ways to generate revenue with very targeted advertising. Each company has their unique method to identify their consumers, some more complicated than others. For example, on a website geared to new mothers the advertisements would reflect that by advertising for baby diapers or formula. This type of targeted advertising is understood and acceptable. The consumer benefits by having advertisements in their interests and the vendor has a higher likelihood of making a sale. The Internet has introduced novel ways to track consumer habits and interests thereby creating smarter advertising. Microsoft employs their browser Internet Explorer using “cookies” to track user habits. Cookies are pieces of text stored by a user’s web browser, they are sent back and forth every time a user accesses a web page. These can be tracked to follow web surfers’ actions.

Various web-based companies have developed techniques to document their customer’s data, enabling them to provide a more enhanced web experience. One such method called “cookies,” employs Microsoft’s web browser, Internet Explorer. It traces the user’s habits. Cookies are pieces of text stored by the web browser that are sent back and forth every time the user accesses a web page. These can be tracked to follow web surfers’ actions. Cookies are used to store the user’s passwords making your life easier on banking sites and email accounts. Another technique used by popular search engines is to personalize the search results. Search engines such as Google sell the top search results to advertisers and are only paid when the search results are clicked on by users. Therefore, Google tries to produce the most relevant search results for their users with a feature called web history. Web history h...
"The WWW offers a wide variety of communication, information and interaction. Cookies provide for necessary customization. But the Internet is not outside the law. Existing regulations, targeted at protecting personal information, limit the use and application of cookies. Current cookie usage violates such norms. Content providers continuing to use cookies that violate these regulations and browser producers unwilling or incapable of bringing their products into accordance with these laws both risk legal liability. It should be their concern to avoid legal action; and it should be our concern to safeguard our privacy."
Abstract Technology has progressed to the point where a user's web usage can be tracked between sessions by almost anyone. Text files dropped on a user's machine, known as cookies, can give certain corporations personal information about the user, and can even keep track of what sites the user has visited. Such personal information can subsequently be sold or exploited, jeopardizing the user's privacy.
In [13], the algorithm is used to rank the relevant pages and treat all the links equally for the distribution of rank scores. In this, HITS rank the pages by analysing their in-links and out-links. The web pages that points to the hyperlinks are known as hubs but the hyperlinks that points to the web pages are known as authorities. Let ap and hp represent the authority and hub scores of page p, respectively. B (p) and I (p) denote the set of referrer and reference pages of page p, respectively. The scores of hubs and authorities are calculated as follows:
Ten years ago, the Internet as we know it hit screens. It was 1995 when Explorer and Netscape emerged as the leading browsers for Internet users. Of course, a lot has changed since the days when it took several minutes to load one Web page. Today, URLs are as common as phone numbers for most businesses.
Information is being shared online each time users browse the internet. This information is being disclosed from visited sites, and is being used by companies to better target customers. Sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google plus are capable of tracking browsing activities, not only within the site, but beyond those boundaries. From each Facebook page like, to Twitter’s tweet button, personal information is made available to others. This paper will explore the technical and ethical considerations of the personal information being shared on the web for targeting customers based on their likes. This paper also covers the issues and concerns of data mining, and the privacy of online consumers. I will explain how personal information is obtained, and what purposes it is used for. I will also cover ways in which we can control how our information is being handled, and how to keep information out of other people’s hands.

Cookies are used for many purposes. For example, a site conducting a poll might use a cookie simply as a Boolean value to indicate whether the user's browser has already participated in the voting so that the user cannot vote twice. A site that asks a user to log on might use a cookie to record that the user already logged on so that the user does not have to keep entering credentials.

As we evolve in the information age, online privacy rights have grown over the past years. In 1986, a federal law was passed to protect an individual’s electronical information. “This law was produced to make a fair balance among the privacy expectations of citizens and the legitimate needs of law enforcement” (EPIC). With the Internet developing intensely, there is a great deal at stake such as the theft of your identification. But where it all begins is when you access the Internet. This is the first step in being aware of your privacy because you go through the process in signing up with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). With this process you have a IP address attached to your ISP. This is the primary step on how your information starts
ABSTRACT: Frequent Itemset mining is an important concept in Data Mining. With the development of complex applications, huge amount of data is received from the user and collectively stored. In order to make these applications profitable, the stakeholders need to understand important patterns from this data which occur frequently so that the system can be modified or updated as per the evaluated result. The business now-a-days being fast paced, it is important for the frequent itemset mining algorithms to be fast. This paper compares the performance of four such algorithms viz Apriori, ECLAT, FPgrowth and PrePost algorithm on the parameters of total time required and maximum memory usage.
Privacy and security of personal data is one of the most difficult challenges that businesses dealing in e-commerce venture face in today’s global world. Though these business sites have little or no interest in private and personal information of the users, but the information collected by them can however lead to risks.
