In common with most websites, we automatically log certain information about every visit to the site. This includes your IP address1 and information relating to your requests from our servers, for example date and time, referrer, user agent (browser), request type, request URL and details of request size. The information is used to help us manage the website (e.g. detecting bugs) and where necessary to investigate potential computer misuse. Under normal circumstances these log files will only be accessed by authorised members of staff, however we do have a legal obligation to make our log files available to external authorities such as the Police, when requested.
If you have any questions or concerns then please email GCBO-data@exeter.ac.uk.
