This page explains what personal information we gather when you visit a School of Clinical Medicine website (medschl.cam.ac.uk) and details how that information is used.
The information published here applies to the use of your personal information (also known as ‘personal data’) by the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine through the viewing or use of its main website (www.medsch.cam.ac.uk) or any website within the medschl.cam.ac.uk domain which has pointed you to this page.

When you visit a website in the medschl.cam.ac.uk domain we use a third party service, Google Analytics, to collect standard internet log information and details of visitor behaviour patterns. We do this to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site.
