Traffic data

Each time a visitor comes to the TransportDistributionEurope.com Web site, 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 on from hotmail.com or direct.gov.uk), referral data (e.g., we record the address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to the TransportDistributionEurope.com 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 TransportDistributionEurope.com site, 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 TransportDistributionEurope.com 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 Manufacturing & Logistics IT collects through cookies is aggregated into general reports about readership and not tied to individual identities. Other companies which place advertising on our site also have the ability to assign their cookies to you in a process that Manufacturing & Logistics IT does not control. However, cookies cannot be used to identify individuals, only machines, so these advertisers will not know who you are.

Promotion & Surveys

From time to time, TransportDistributionEurope.com may sponsor events or conduct surveys of visitors to the site 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. TransportDistributionEurope.com 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.

TransportDistributionEurope.com will, from time to time, conduct voluntary surveys of visitors to the site to obtain aggregate demographic information about them. Such information may be compiled and shared in the aggregate with advertisers and other third parties, but no personal details will be traceable or associated with specific individuals.

Our commitment to children's privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is important to us. For that reason, we do not collect or maintain information at our Web sites from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Web site is structured to attract anyone under 13.

Other disclosure of personal information

TransportDistributionEurope.com will not otherwise use or disclose your personal information without your consent except (i) as described in this privacy policy, or (ii) as required by law, court order or as requested by other government or law enforcement authority. This policy does not protect information you post to any on-line bulletin board, chat room, newsgroup or other public forum within our Web sites.
