IP Address

What Happens When You Visit Our Website

Each time you connect to the internet, your device is assigned a unique identifier known as an IP Address. If you are using an always-on connection (e.g., broadband or ADSL), your IP Address is assigned when you start or restart your device. This information includes your approximate geographic location and the name of your internet service provider («ISP»). Our Website automatically logs your IP Address when you visit.

What is an IP Address?

An IP Address is a numerical label assigned to your device when it connects to the internet. This identifier allows websites to communicate with your device. While an IP Address does not inherently identify you as an individual, it provides information about your geographic location and ISP. IP Addresses are essential for online connectivity and facilitate the delivery of content from websites to your device.

How Do We Collect Your IP Address?

Each time you request content from Our Website, your device transmits your IP Address as a «return address» to ensure the requested content is delivered to you. Our servers automatically log these transmissions, enabling seamless communication between your device and Our Website.

How Do We Use Your IP Address?

We collect and analyze IP Address data to:

  • Generate aggregated statistics about Website visitors, such as geographic distribution, session duration, and popular pages.
  • Monitor user trends and behavior to enhance Website performance and user experience.
  • Diagnose technical issues, maintain Website security, and optimize server functionality.
  • Develop insights to improve the overall quality of the services We provide to Our users.

IP Address data is stored only as long as necessary for the above purposes and is processed in compliance with applicable data protection laws. We do not use IP Addresses to attempt to identify individual users unless required by law or for security purposes.
