When you visit any British Standards Institution Website [any Website with a URL beginning www.bsi-global.com/ hereafter, the BSI Group Website] to browse information it contains, you do so anonymously unless you choose to provide us information about yourself. If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the Web site - reading pages, viewing images, or downloading information for example - we will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically.

Information gathered automatically is used for only two purposes: site management and, in the case of suspected unauthorised activity, for law enforcement and possible criminal prosecution (See Security Notice below)

The BSI Group Website automatically logs visitor information from which summary statistics are created. We use the summary statistics to help us make our site more useful to visitors, such as assessing what information is of most and least interest to visitors, and for other purposes such as determining the site's technical design specifications and identifying system performance or problem areas.

The following are representative of the types of information automatically collected and stored about your visit:

• the Internet domain and Internet Protocol (IP) address from which you access our Web site;
• the type of Internet browser and the operating system of the computer you use to access our site;
• the date and time you visit our site;
• the pages you visit on our site;
• if you linked to our Web site from another Web site, the address of that Web site;
• and, if you linked to our Web site from a search Web site, the address of that Web site and the search term you used.
