Traffic data
Each time a visitor comes to our Web sites, our servers , like most on the Web , collect some basic technical information, including, for example, the visitor's domain name (e.g., whether the user is logged in from hotmail.com or bbc.co.uk), referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to the Web site) and browser and platform type (e.g., a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform).

We also count, track and aggregate the visitor's activity into our analysis of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g. tracking where traffic comes from, how traffic flows within the sites, etc.). To these ends, we may merge information about visitors and visits into group data, which may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our advertisers; but we will not disclose your individual identity or personally identifiable data without your permission. When we do present aggregated information to outside companies, no one will be able to identify you or contact you.

Use of website cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies in a limited way to help deliver advertisements, to identify unique browsers that visit us and to track usage throughout our site. The information about readership and site usage that the websites collect through cookies is aggregated into general reports about readership and not tied to individual identities. Other companies which place advertising on our sites also have the ability to assign their cookies to you in a process that B2B Publishing Ltd does not control. However, cookies cannot be used to identify individuals, only machines, so these advertisers will not know who you are.

E-Newsletters
In order to receive our weekly E-newsletters subscribers provide B2B Publishing Ltd with personal information including name, company name and e-mail address. B2B Publishing Ltd collects this information so that we can effectively target advertisements. This information may be shared in aggregate form with our advertisers. When we present aggregated information to outside companies, no individual`s details will be revealed and therefore no one will be able to identify or contact you.

Promotion & Surveys
From time to time, B2B Publishing Ltd may sponsor events or conduct surveys of visitors to the site to obtain aggregate demographic information about them which require the collection, processing and storage of individual contact and demographic information (e.g., your age and state of residence) to be used for the event. B2B Publishing Ltd may also co-sponsor these events along with other companies, in which case only aggregated and demographic information will be shared with other participating sponsors, who may use this information as they wish. A registrant's personal contact information will not be released to any third-party organisation.

Our commitment to children's privacy
