Depending on the setup of your internet service provider (ISP), this information may identify who you are; you may wish to contact your ISP for more information in this regard. The log data is analyzed for trends and statistics, and then aggregated.
If you have any questions about the information gathered automatically by our Web site, please contact the webmaster at webmaster@gov.mb.ca.
