This data is used for statistical purposes as well as to help customise the user experience as you browse the Site and subsequently interact with Novus Networks Ltd and our partners. This helps us to understand which areas of the site are of particular interest, which pages are not being requested, and how many people are visiting the site in total. It also helps us and our partners to determine which products and services may be of specific interest to you.
