Policy of privacy and use of cookies on Western Institute websites.
The Zygmunt Wojciechowski Western Institute attaches particular importance to respecting the privacy of users visiting sites in the iz.poznan.pl domain. The data collected in logs are used only for the purposes of site administration. We do not seek to identify users of the Institute's sites. No identifying data, for any purpose, is transferred to any third party.
Data collection
In accordance with the accepted practice of most Web sites, we store HTTP requests directed to our server. The resources viewed are identified by URLs. The exact list of information stored in web server log files is as follows:
the public IP address of the computer from which the request came (this can be the user's computer directly)
.
the name of the client station-identification provided by the HTTP protocol if possible,
.
the name of the user given in the authorization process,
.
time of arrival of the request,
.
the first line of the HTTP request,
.
the HTTP response code,
.
number of bytes sent by the server,
.
the URL of the page previously visited by the user (referer link) - in the event that the Institute's website was accessed via a link,
.
information about the user's browser,
.
information about errors that occurred during the execution of the HTTP transaction,
.
These data are not associated with specific people browsing the Institute's pages. In order to ensure the highest possible quality of the service, we occasionally analyze the log files to determine: which pages are visited most often, which web browsers are used, whether the structure of the site contains errors, etc.
Use of data
.
The collected logs are stored indefinitely as support material for the administration of the site. The information contained in them is not disclosed to anyone except those authorized to administer the server and the Institute's network. Based on the log files, statistics may be generated as an aid to administration. Aggregate summaries in the form of such statistics do not contain any identifying characteristics of visitors to the site.
