Cookies
A cookie is a message given by a web browser (which displays your chosen webpages on your computer) to a web server (which delivers the web pages to your computer). The message is stored by your browser and will be used each time you access the site which the cookie relates to. The main objective of the cookie is to identify users and to personalise their visit to the site by customising webpages (for example by welcoming a user to a site by name) and enabling the shopping cart feature.

Log Files

All users to the Internet have an IP address, which enables networks connected to the Internet to transmit the data and messages submitted by users from one host to another and to ensure messages are understood. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information and therefore the information kamadenu.com produces using IP addresses does not enable individual users to be identified.
