Collecting information through our websites
Personal information may also be collected through your use of our website such as through cookies, web beacons and web analytics in accordance with standard practice. Cookies are small data files transferred onto computers or devices by websites for record-keeping purposes. Cookies help analyse web traffic and enhance functionality on the website(s) visited. Cookies allow web applications to respond to you, and based on your cookies, the web application can be tailored to your needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about your preferences.
Most Internet browsers allow you to choose whether to accept cookies or not. Some of our websites will allow you to accept cookies using an ‘opt-in’ function. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, you may choose not to opt-in to cookies where this function exists. In the alternative, where this function is not available, if you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, please set your browser preferences to reject all cookies before accessing our website.
We may use web beacons on our websites from time to time. Web beacons (also known as Pixel Tags or Clear GIFs) are small pieces of codes placed on a web page to monitor the visitor’s behaviour and collect data about the visitor’s viewing of a web page. For example, web beacons can be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that page.
We use tools such as Google Analytics to collect data about how you interact with our website (Web Analytics). The data collected through Web Analytics will include, without limitation; your device’s IP address, your device type, operating system and browser information, geographic location, search terms and pages visited, and the date and time when pages were accessed on our website(s). Web Analytics allows us to improve functionality on our websites based on the data collected, such as by distributing web traffic across multiple servers to optimise response times.
Anonymity
In some circumstances you may have the option of interacting with us anonymously or not identifying yourself such as by using a pseudonym, such as when you make an enquiry through our websites.
If you choose not to provide information such as your name and contact details, we may be unable to fulfil our functions and activities, including responding to requests for information about or products or services.
