types of information about you resulting from your use of this website, as follows:

– personal information, including your name and surname; and

– aggregate information which is generated from the practices that we have in place

regarding the ‘cookies’ and Internet Protocol Address (“IP address”) of the users of the

website.

Our practices regarding the collection and processing of your personal information are set in

our privacy notice . Correspondingly, the practices that we have in place for the generation of

aggregate information are described in this IP address and cookie policy. In order to be able

to access and use the website, you must expressly agree and consent to the practices set

out below.

Please read the following carefully to understand how and why the website uses your IP

address and cookies. If you do not accept or agree to the practices described in this Policy,

you must exit the website immediately! Welcome to Exocent’s ‘IP Address and Cookie

Policy’ (or the “policy”).

 

  1. IP Address

 

2.1. What happens when you visit the website

 

Every time you connect to the internet or, if you use an always-on connection, such as

broadband or ADSL, when you boot up or restart your computer, you are automatically

assigned a unique identifying number known as an IP Address. This IP Address, which

contains information regarding the location of your computer on the internet (your country of

origin) and the name of your internet service provider (“ISP”), is automatically logged by the

website.

 

2.2. What is an IP address?

 

When you first started your internet session (i.e. your computer connected to the internet),

your computer was automatically assigned a unique number (normally in the region of 9 or

10 decimal numbers), known as an IP Address. This is your computer’s unique address on

the internet. Without an IP Address, websites would not be able to deliver their content to

you given that they would not be able to find your computer on the internet. Since each time

you disconnect and reconnect to the internet a new IP Address is automatically assigned to

your computer, IP Addresses are not inherently capable of identifying you as an individual (at

least, by themselves and not combined with other identifiers). An IP Address does, however,

contain information regarding the location of your computer on the internet (your country),

and the name of your ISP.

2.3 How do we collect your IP address

 

Each time you visit a page on the website, your computer sends out a message asking for

the requested content to be delivered. This message sent by your computer also encloses

your IP Address as a form of “return address”, so that our website may find your computer in

order to send it that requested content. Our webserver automatically logs all these

messages.

 

2.4 What do we do with your IP address?

 

When we log your IP Address, the data collected is grouped up with the other logged IP

Addresses in order to provide us with statistics on the geographic location of visitors to our

website, how long they stay on the website, which are the most viewed pages and for other

statistical reasons that may be relevant for our business.

We gather your IP address automatically and store it in log files. These files also contain

information relating to your browser type, ISP, operating system, date/time stamp,

clickstream data and the files viewed on website. Collecting this type of information allows us

to generate aggregate information for the purposes of developing the website, including in

terms of overall user trends and activities online (such as the number of unique visitors,

pages accessed and viewed most frequently, or the search terms entered). It also allows us

to administer the website, diagnose any potential server problems, analyse visitor trends and

statistics, and generally helps us to provide you with better internet experience.

IP Addresses are not stored for longer than necessary for the above-mentioned purposes.

  1. Cookies

 

3.1 What are ‘cookies’?

 

The website uses cookies to distinguish you from other users. They allow us to analyse

trends and administer the website, to help us to provide you with good experience when you

browse the website and to develop and improve the website at the same time.

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that we store on your browser or the hard

drive of your computer if you agree. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your

computer’s hard drive. A cookie enables the website to remember users that have already a

website. Without a cookie, every time you open a new web page, the server where that page

is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor. Cookies allow us to remember your

custom preferences such as your language preference and allow you to complete tasks

without having to re-enter your information when browsing.

Cookies typically contain the name of the website that the cookie came from, the lifetime of

the cookie as well as a randomly generated unique number. Websites typically use this

number to ensure that you are recognised when you visit the website again, while you move

from page to page within one website and that any information you have entered is

remembered.

There are two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are

temporary cookies that remain in the cookie folder on your hard disk until you close your

browser. Persistent cookies last much longer than session cookies as they remain on your

hard disk until their preset lifetime expires or until they are removed. Our website only uses

session cookies.

 

3.2 What information do we collect from cookies

 

Our website uses session cookies and web beacons to record session information including:

– The date and duration of your visit to the website;

– The web pages which you viewed during your visit;

– Your IP address (see above);

– The type and version of the browser which you used; and

– Your computer’s Operating system.

– We do not use cookies to collect or store any personal information.

We use the information that we gather in order to evaluate the website’s usage, content,

navigability and composition. This statistical analysis allows us to improve our website, to

generally make your internet experience more enjoyable and to provide a value-added

service.

Please note that third parties (including advertising networks and providers of external

services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no

control. These cookies are likely to be analytical and performance cookies or targeting

cookies.

 

3.3 Acceptance and blocking of cookies

 

You do not have to accept cookies to use our website.

You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, and can even block or

reject all or some cookies by activating the relevant setting on your browser. If you do block

or reject cookies, you may still be able to access and use the website, but your ability to use

some of its features and areas, together with the services that you connect to through the

site, may be limited or may simply not function properly.

Many browsers also allow you to browse privately, whereby cookies are automatically

erased after you visit a site. The following is a list of the most common browsers and the way

in which you can activate private browsing:

– Internet Explorer 8 and later versions: In Private

– Safari 2 and later versions: Private Navigation/Browsing

– Firefox 3.5 and later versions: Private Navigation/Browsing

– Google Chrome 10 and later versions: Incognito

In that regard, we also use ‘web beacons’ or ‘action tags’ in conjunction with cookies. Web

beacons are typically a minute and transparent graphic image that is placed on a website or

in an email. Web beacons allow the website to record the simple actions of the user opening

the page that contains the web beacon. Since web beacons are the same as any other

content on a web page, you cannot opt out or refuse them, however, these can be rendered

ineffective by changing your browser’s cookie settings to refuse cookies.

– Social Media features and widgets

 

The website may include social media features. These features may collect your IP address,

which pages you are visiting on the site, and may set a cookie to enable this feature to

function properly.

Any personal information that you provide via such social media applications may be

collected and used by other members of that social media application and such interactions

are governed by the privacy policies of the companies that provide the application. We do

not have control over, or responsibility for, those companies or their use of your information.
