Log files are maintained and analysed of all requests for files on this website’s web servers. Log files do not capture personal information but do capture the user’s IP address, which is automatically recognised by our web servers. Our web hosting provider, 34sp.com will also be able to access this information.

Analysis of these log files is used to monitor website usage. These analyses may be made available to the staff, trustees and volunteers of St. Stephen’s & St. Wulstan’s Church (SSSW) to allow them to measure, for example, overall popularity of the site and typical user paths through the site.

Except as stated already, SSSW will make no attempt to identify individual users. You should be aware, however, that access to web pages will generally create log entries in the systems of your ISP or network service provider. These entities may be in a position to identify the client computer equipment used to access a page. Such monitoring would be done by the provider of network services and is beyond the responsibility or control of SSSW.

SSSW will make no attempt to track or identify individual users, except where there is a reasonable suspicion that unauthorised access to systems is being attempted. In the case of all users, SSSW reserves the right to attempt to identify and track any individual who is reasonably suspected of trying to gain unauthorised access to computer systems or resources operating as part of SSSW’s web services.

As a condition of use of this site, all users must give permission for SSSW to use its access logs to attempt to track users who are reasonably suspected of gaining, or attempting to gain, unauthorised access.

All log file information collected by SSSW is kept secure and no access to raw log files is given to any third party.

This website does not store any information that would, on its own, allow us to identify individual users of this service without their permission. Cookies are only set after permission is given. Further details of the Cookies used by this website are shown below:
