Automatic Logging of Session Data

 

Session data is automatically logged generic information about your computer and your computer's connection to the Internet. Session data consists of things such as device information, IP address, operating system and browser software information, and the activities conducted on web sites. An IP address is a number that lets computers attached to the Internet, such as web servers, know where to send data back to the user, such as the pages of web sites. Session data is collected because it helps to analyse such things as what items visitors are likely to click on most, the way visitors are clicking through web sites, how many visitors are surfing to various pages on web sites, how long visitors are staying and how often they are visiting. It also helps diagnose problems with web servers and helps to better administer systems. It is possible to determine from an IP address a visitor’s Internet Service provider (ISP) and the approximate geographical location of connectivity. Session data also helps prevent fraud and unauthorised use of the Internet.
