• The Internet domain (for example, "xcompany.com" if you use a private Internet access account, or "yourschool.edu" if you connect from a university's domain) and IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web) from which you access our website.
• The type of browser and operating system used to access our site.
• The date and time you access our site.
• The pages you visit.
• If you linked to our website from another website, the address of that website.

We do not share this information with any other organisation for commercial purposes.

We use the information we collect to count the number and type of visitors to the different pages on our site, in order to help us make our site more useful to visitors like you.
