Information transmitted automatically

You should be aware that, as soon as you access the site www.sct.gouv.qc.ca information is automatically exchanged between your computer and the server of the government’s portal, without your intervention. The information does not identify you personally. It consists of:

1. Your Internet domain name and your IP address ;
2. the type of browser and operating system used to access our site;
3. the date and time you access our site;
4. the pages you visit; and
5. if you access our Website from another site, its address

This exchange of information is necessary if the server is to transmit to you a file compatible with the computer equipment you are using. The government keeps the required information in order to have a record of the number of visitors, the pages visited most often, the technology used by the portal’s clientele, the referral sites and the countries of origin of visitors to the site.

• of the use to which the information will be put;
• of the categories of persons who will have access to the information;
• of the fact that a reply is obligatory, or that it is optional;
