server. Our log
files do not contain any personal
information or information about which other sites you have visited.
We do not use cookies
for collecting user information from the site and we will not collect
any information about you except that required for system administration
of the web server.

not necessarily follow the same policies. Further information on

Glossary
Cookie
Message given to a browser program by a web
server. The message is then stored by the browser in a text file.
Each time the browser requests a page from the server, this message
is sent back. A cookie's main objective is to identify users and
personalise their visit by customising web pages for them for example
by welcoming them by name next time they visit the same site. A
site using cookies will usually invite you to provide personal information
such as your name, e-mail address and interests. In our case, however,
we do not use cookies at all.
IP address
Every machine connecting to the Internet
has a four-number address (e.g. 146.9.80.88) which may or may not
stay constant between sessions online. Many web users connect indirectly
to the Internet via an intermediary (proxy) server
Log files
Every time our web site is accessed an entry
is made in the web server's log file. This tells us broadly where
an access is coming from, when it was made, which file was requested
and whether the request was successful or not. It usually does not
allow us to identify individual users. The data is used to assess
usage levels and spot technical problems (such as broken pages or
web server errors).
Web server
The machine which on which the wing website
is physically located, which delivers (serves up) web pages to your
computer.
