data, such as the source address that the page request is
coming from (i.e. your IP address, domain name), date and
time of the page request, the referring website (if any)

use this data to better understand website usage so we know
what areas of our website users prefer. This information
is stored in log files and is used for aggregated and statistical
reporting but is not attributed to you as an individual.

to protect information from unauthorised access and misuse.
