Such technologies may lead to data being collected automatically by us or by third parties on our behalf. Such data does not generally, but may, contain a user's personal data. Examples of such technologies include:

i. Click-stream data. A visit to one of our Sites results in data that is transmitted from your browser to our server being automatically collected and stored by us or by third parties on behalf of us. This data may include, but is not limited to, the following:

• the visitor's IP address

These are essentially small text files stored on your computer's hard drive or your user device by your web browser. We can use cookies to identify the owner of a user account and to store articles in a shopping basket during the purchasing process. Cookies help to make our Sites or our (mobile and web-based) applications more user-friendly, effective and secure. The cookies usually used by us are so-called "session cookies", which are automatically deleted at the end of the visit to the relevant website. By default, web browsers enable the use of cookies but this function can be disabled by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. This may however result in some services not being available. It is also possible to manually delete cookies after their use via the web browser. More information may be available from your web browser provider.

iii. Web beacons and tracking links. Web beacons (also known as pixel tags and clear GIFs) involve graphics that are not apparent to users. Tracking links and/or similar technologies consist of a few lines of programming code and can be embedded in our Sites. In conjunction with cookies, these are primarily used for statistical analysis purposes. This technology can also be used for tracking traffic patterns on websites, as well as finding out if an e-mail has been received, opened, and responded to.

iv. Web analytics. Web analytics is the term given to a method of collecting and assessing the behaviour of visitors to websites and mobile applications. This includes the analysis of traffic patterns, for example, to determine the frequency of visits to certain parts of a website or mobile application or to find out what information and services our visitors are most interested in. For these purposes, we primarily make use of click-stream data and the other techniques listed above. Web analytics are carried out by Google Analytics and/or other selected parties.
