Browsing history and IP address
General information on visits to PSW websites is captured and stored without visitors being identified. The purpose of this is to improve the quality of the website and users' browsing experience. This information can also be used to put targeted information on the site. This allows PSW to tailor its services to you. PSW also uses your computer's IP address for this purpose. The IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you browse the internet. This information can also be used to see how the website is being used and for analysis and reporting purposes. In principle, IP addresses are not linked to information that would identify you, unless you have given your explicit permission for this.
Use of cookies by PSW
A cookie is a small amount of data (a small file) sent to your computer by a website. The website tells the web browser you are using (e.g. Internet Explorer) to store these cookies on your computer. There are two types of cookies. Session cookies are deleted from your computer when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain stored on your computer even after your web browser is closed.
PSW uses cookies to make navigating the website easier, to analyse the use of the website and so improve the quality of the website. Session cookies are also used in this process. PSW uses cookies to collect information about its customers for the purposes of targeted communication, including the provision of service information about our products and targeted marketing of products and services provided by PSW, its group companies and, in some cases, third parties carefully selected by us. Your user name may also be stored in a cookie if you are logged on to a PSW website. On PSW websites, your e-mail address is the user name. PSW websites that contain advertisements also use cookies. These keep track of what advertisements you have already seen. These cookies are produced by the company responsible for the advertisement, not by PSW.
Refusing cookies
You can refuse cookies by adjusting your browser settings (e.g. Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) to disable all or certain cookies (see your web browser manual or help function). If you disable cookies, some services may not be available to you.
