  Our logs

spanish-bookworld.com, french-bookworld.com, english-bookworld.com, german-bookworld.com, italian-bookworld.com, spanish-online.co.uk, health-and-beauty-blog.com and language-bookworld.com use log files to collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, country of origin, referring/exit pages, platform type and other general information. We use this information to analyze our websites' usage. The information we get is purely statistical and, therefore, not linked to an identifiable visitor.

Here are some log examples: we get information on the percentage of our visitors that use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape and other browsers. We get graphics that indicate the daily trends, so we can see which days we get more visitors. We also get the list of our most visited pages and the list of pages that give you an error message (i.e. pages that visitors cannot see because of a technical problem at our end). We only use those statistics to improve our websites.
