Visitor Information
Every
computer connected to the internet is provided with a unique (domain)
name and an IP (Internet Protocol) address.The Deanery does not host
the
website, this is done by a company called
LCN.
When a visitor comes to the website the LCN servers log the visit. Over
a period of time it is possible for us to log into the LCN portal to
see how many visitors have come to the website, how long they have
stayed, which pages they have visited and what part of the world they
have come from. This is useful information in that it gives statistical
information about which pages are the most popular. As no personal user
information is used on the website it is very unlikely that any
individual's
personal details can be tracked after visiting the site. The
information that is collected by the LCN servers stays within the
comapany on their servers.
