Cookies and log files
Like most websites, the IEA website may use cookies and web log files to track site usage. A cookie is a tiny data file which resides on your computer and allows us to recognise you as a user when you return to our site using the same computer and web browser.

Due to the communications standards on the Internet, when you visit the IEA web site we may automatically receive the URL of the site from which you came and the site to which you are going when you leave the IEA site.

We also receive the Internet protocol (IP) address of your computer (or the proxy server you use to access the World Wide Web), details of your computer operating system and the type of web browser you are using, as well as the name of your ISP.

This information is used to analyse overall trends to help us improve the IEA service, but is not linked to personally identifiable information in any way.
