Use of cookies
IE Singapore uses "cookies", where a small data file is sent to your browser to store and track information about you when you enter our websites. The cookie is used to track information such as the number of users and their frequency of use, profiles of users and their preferred sites. While this cookie can tell us when you enter our sites and which pages you visit, it cannot read data off your hard disk.
Like many web site operators, IE Singapore also uses independent companies to measure and analyse the internet usage across IE Singapore web sites. IE Singapore uses such companies' services to collect the following core information on the usage of our web sites, including:
- The number of page views (or page impressions) that occur on IE Singapore web sites;
- The number of unique visitors to IE Singapore web sites;
- How long these unique visitors (on average) spend on IE Singapore web sites when they do visit; and
- Common entry and exit points into IE Singapore web sites.
This aggregate, non-personal information is collated and provided to IE Singapore to assist in analysing the usage of IE Singapore web sites.
All pages on IE Singapore web sites are coded with software provided by the independent web tracking company. This is transparent to the user as the software makes use of an invisible image (via Javascript) or an invisible Java Applet*, at the bottom of the web page. This software stores a "cookie" in the browser, which contains a unique identifier. This enables us to track the number of unique visitors to our web sites. This information is collected and aggregated, and in no way does this unique identifier identify a user personally.
