What information does FedEx capture on visitors to its Web site?
Fedex.ca resides on the Fedex.com Web Server. This server uses an extended log file format which captures: date and time of visit, refer address (location from which a visitor comes to FedEx.ca), type of Internet browser, and visitor's IP address. (Each computer that connects to the Internet is assigned a unique number, an IP Address, for identification purposes). The log file does not capture a visitor's email address.
Is personal information requested?
There are currently three principal areas of FedEx Freight Canada Corp. Web site which ask for personal information. They are: Get Rates, Proof of Delivery and Tracking. This list may be expanded without notice.

What happens when I leave FedEx.ca (or fedex.com) to visit a FedEx linked Web site?
Parts of FedEx.ca consist of products and services hosted by business partners and other third parties. When you leave FedEx.ca (or fedex.com) to visit one of their sites, the only information transferred to the third part is the fact that you came from FedEx.ca (the refer address). This practice allows the third party to monitor its own Web site traffic, but does not provide them with any information about you. FedEx is not responsible or liable for the privacy policies or content of our third party sites. You should consult the privacy policies at those sites to determine how your information may be used.
Are cookies used?
Cookies are used to achieve two goals. The first is to provide FedEx with the capability to customize information for certain segments of its customer base. Secondly, in some instances, cookies are used to allow FedEx the opportunity to associate individual customers with their information profiles. As an example, through the use of cookies, the FedEx Ship Manager at fedex.com "Easy Login" feature can automatically fill in key information, and in the process save you time.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a series of data characters that, when programmed into a Web site, is placed by the Web Server into the browser's application folder on your computer. Once placed onto your machine, the cookie will allow the Web site to "recognize" you as a unique individual.
Please note that in most instances a cookie does not enable a User to be recognized as a name (e.g., John Doe). Rather, it will recognize an individual as a series of numbers (e.g., TRACKID=MC_53011).
