Policy

Post Newspapers Pty Ltd is publicly committed to observe the standards published by the Australian Press Council as the Statement of Privacy Principles.

The POST website collects certain limited information automatically with each page view for logging and aggregated statistics. None of it is personally identifiable. That means that we don’t get your name, address, etc from the information your computer sends, and we can’t tell who is using the computer.

Some of this information is sent automatically by your web browser when it connects to our web site. Our website also asks your web browser to send some more information to our statistics service, Google Analytics, so we can see how long visitors stay and what they read while they’re on the POST’s site. Of course, we don’t know who you are, so we can only use this information in aggregate form as part of statistics to tell us what people do and do not read, and when.

Google Analytics collects the following types of information from users:

  • Type of user agent (web browser) used, software manufacture and version number.
  • Type of operating system
  • Screen colors (color processing ability of the users screen)
  • Javascript support
  • Flash version
  • Screen resolution
  • Network location and IP address
  • Can include country, city, state, region, county, or any other geographic data.
  • Hostname
  • Bandwidth (internet connection speed)
  • Time of visit
  • Pages visited
  • Time spent on each page of the website
  • Referring site statistics
    – The website (URL) the user came through in order to arrive at this website (example: clicking on a hyperlink from Yahoo.com that took the user to this website)
    – Search engine query used (example: typing in a phrase into a search engine like Google, and clicking on a link from that search engine)
