- Traffic : Web servers serving LexisNexis automatically collect information about which pages each user visits and the domain name of visitors. This information is used for internal review, to tailor information to individual visitors and for traffic audits. We also provide this information (as well as information from third-party market researchers) about our users on an aggregated, anonymous basis to our advertisers and clients.
- Legal: LexisNexis may also disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our policies or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) LexisNexis's rights or property, other LexisNexis users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities.
- Statistics and advertisements : LexisNexis may perform statistical analyses of user behaviour in order to measure interest in the various areas of our site (for product development purposes) and to inform advertisers as to how many consumers have seen or "clicked" their advertising banners. LexisNexis also uses demographic information to allow advertising banners on our Web site to be targeted, in aggregate, to the readers for whom they are most pertinent. This means that readers see advertising that is most likely to interest them, and advertisers send their messages to people who are most likely to be receptive, improving both the viewer's experience and the effectiveness of the ads. In this statistical analyses and banner advertisement targeting, we will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form.

However, note that some parts of LexisNexis may not function properly if you refuse cookies. You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. LexisNexis does not control these cookies. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.
- Use of IP Address
- LexisNexis also logs IP addresses, or the location of your computer on the Internet. LexisNexis collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration, to report aggregate information to our advertisers and clients, and to audit the use of our site. When users request pages from the LexisNexis network, our servers log the users' IP addresses.
- Subject to clause 5.3 below, LexisNexis will not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us.
- LexisNexis may however use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it is necessary to enforce compliance with our policies or Terms of use Agreement (As set out in the Disclaimer), or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
