Cookies make surfing the web easier for you by saving your preferences and tracking your online habits and traffic patterns. The use of cookies is an industry standard.

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to a computer whenever it is connected to the Internet. We log IP addresses, or the location of computers on the Internet.

We collect IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to audit the use of the Website. We do not ordinarily link IP addresses to personal information, which means that your session may remain anonymous.
