solely the purpose of providing the services offered and authenticating
your identity when you login. Be assured that we do not sell information

and platform, time of visit, pages visited and searches performed, if
any. These statistics are used to help us improve the performance of our
website.
Aggregated traffic data may be shared with potential advertisers, research

aggregated form no one will be able to identify or contact you.
Use of E-mail Addresses
Registered Farnell users may "opt out"
of the e-mail communications offered in the "Profile" section of the site.
If you change your mind you can always reverse your decision later. E-mails
that confirm business transactions will always be sent to you.
Use of Cookies
A "cookie" is a piece of information that our
website sends to your browser, which then stores this information on your
system. A cookie allows our website to "remember" information about your
preferences either until you exit your current browser window (if the
cookie is temporary) or until you disable or delete the cookie. Many users
prefer to use cookies to help them navigate a website as seamlessly as
possible.
You should be aware that cookies contain no more information than you
volunteer, and they are not able to "invade" your hard drive and return
to the sender with personal or other information from your computer. If
you choose not to accept a cookie, you will still be able to use our website.
Sending You Responses and Updates
We generally respond to any
e-mail questions, requests for service or information, and other inquiries
we receive. We may also retain this correspondence to improve our products,
services and website. Frequently we retain contact information so that
we can send individuals updates or other important information about our
services and products.
Surveys
From time-to-time we may request information via surveys.
Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary and you always
have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Survey information
