Log Files
Every time our web site is visited a log file is generated on our web server. This contains information such as the visitor’s IP (Internet Protocol) address, how long the visitor spent on the site and which parts of it they looked at. We collect this information to help us administer our systems, for reporting and marketing purposes and to audit the use of our site (for example to look at trends relating to the types of visitors we receive to the site and from where).

We do not normally link IP addresses to anything that can personally identify you as an individual which mean that you remain anonymous even though we include your IP address in our data. However, if necessary we would attempt to use IP address to identify someone where we felt it necessary to ensure compliance with our terms and conditions, or to protect our services and/or other users.

Cookies

How you can help to protect your own information
