The use of ‘cookies’ helps Xestro work optimally and efficiently. A ‘cookie’ is a small file containing a string of characters that is sent to your computer when you visit a website. Cookies help store user preferences and other information. Although you can configure your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent, for Xestro to operate optimally, there should be no restrictions of cookies on the xestro.com domain.

For your security and for Xestro optimization, we use ‘server logs’ and we track IP addresses. Every device connected to the Internet is assigned a number known as an Internet protocol (IP) address. These numbers are usually assigned in geographic blocks. An IP address can often be used to identify the location from which a device is connecting to the Internet. Like most websites, our servers automatically record the page requests made when you visit our sites. These ‘server logs’ typically include your web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.

Like other technology and communications companies, Xestro may receive requests from governments and courts around the world to disclose user data. Respect for the privacy and security of data you store with Xestro underpins our approach to complying with these legal requests. Our legal team reviews each and every request, regardless of type, and we frequently push back when a request appears to be overly broad or doesn’t follow the correct process.
