- IP addresses – An IP address is a number assigned to your computer whenever you access the internet. It allows computers and servers to recognise and communicate with one another. IP addresses from where visitors appear to originate may be recorded for IT security and system diagnostic purposes. This information is typically used in aggregate form to conduct website trend and performance analysis.

- Google Analytics – SLS uses Google Analytics. More information about Google Analytics can be found here: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/.
To provide visitors with more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, Google has developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on does not prevent information from being sent to the website itself or other web analytics services.
