Links to external websites

NAIF has no direct control over the content of any linked websites, or the changes that may occur to the content on those websites. Links to external websites should not be construed as an endorsement, approval or recommendation by us the owners or operators of those linked websites and are provided in good faith.

Clickstream data

Clickstreams are the paths a user takes when navigating a website and the internet in general. When you visit one of our sites, our servers record the following information for statistical purposes:

• Your server (IP) address and machine name
• Your top-level domain name (for example .com, .gov, .au, .uk, etc)
• The date and time of the visit to the site
• The pages accessed and documents downloaded
• The number of bytes transmitted and received for each request
• The previous site or page visited
• Search terms used
• Your browser type
• The address of the referring page

The NAIF examines this information to determine the traffic through the server and to specific pages or applications. In order to deliver better services, we also perform statistical analysis to establish priorities and allocate resources.

No attempt will be made to identify users or their browsing activities except in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect server logs.

The statistics and log files may be preserved indefinitely and used at any time and in any way necessary to prevent security breaches and to ensure the integrity of the information supplied by the NAIF.

Cookies

A cookie is a short piece of data that is sent from a web server to a web browser on the user’s machine when the browser visits the server’s site. The cookie is stored on the user’s machine, but it is not an executable program and cannot do anything to your machine.

Whenever a web browser requests a file from the same web server that sent the cookie, the browser sends a copy of that cookie back to the server along with the request. In this way, the server knows you have visited before and can coordinate your access to different pages on its website. A server cannot find out a name or email address, or anything about a user’s computer, by using cookies.

We use cookies to obtain session details for access to parts of our sites. Cookies are essential in providing seamless access to some online databases. Cookie information is not stored or collected by the NAIF.

Email addresses

Your email address will only be used by us for the purpose for which you have provided it and will not be added to a mailing list unless you have asked us to, nor will we disclose it except as described on this page or within our Privacy Policy.
