Logging IP Addresses

Wiltronics Research Pty Ltd will log IP addresses for spam and fraud prevention purposes as well as for security and improving user experience.

We will log IP addresses when the following events occur:

  • 404 File not found errors
  • Failed and successful logins
  • Login lockdowns (after too many failed logins attempts)
  • When a virtual product is downloaded (eg. eBooks). IP addresses are not logged for free downloads.
  • When an order is placed
  • When a comment is submitted

An IP address will also be logged if the IP address is found to be committing actions that risk the security of www.wiltronics.com.au (eg. attempting to access admin accounts). These IP addresses will be banned from the site, and are exempt from Right to Erasure requests, unless the visitor can prove they did not perform any action that compromised/ attempted to compromise the security of the site.

 

Analytics and Tracking

The company utilises Google Analytics on the website to gather information used to improve user experience and site performance. This service will store IP addresses, however we have elected to utilise their anonymize IP function. This results in the last octet of IPv4 user IP addresses and the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses getting set to zeros before any storage or processing takes place. The full IP address is never stored.

The company also uses Hotjar to better understand how users interact with the site and how we can improve its usability. Hotjar does not store IP addresses or any other personal information.

 

Cookies

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Several cookies will also be set up if you add items to the cart. Two contain information about the cart as a whole. The third contains a unique code for each customer, so it knows where to find the cart data in the database. No personal information is stored in these cookies.

Cookies will also be set by Google Analytics and Hotjar to distinguish unique users and unique sessions. Hotjar will set cookies to ensure users are not shown the same polls, surveys, etc once they have already been completed and to maintain the state of these items (eg. if a customer minimises a feedback poll).
