This website utilizes server logs and log analysis tools

analysis. These logs collect the Internet Protocol ("IP")
address of all computers accessing the portal, and may
collect other similar information about the computer’s network.

24 hours, so that if the user returns to complete an order after
expiration of the cookie, the shopping cart will appear 'empty'.
