If some parts of this request are easier to answer than others, I

Dear Jack,
I am writing in response to your request for information received by UCL
on 9 September.
The UCL internet access logs are truncated according to size; we currently
only have logs dating back to mid/late June up until the date of your
request., we therefore do not hold information covering the entirety of
your request. We have been able to extract the information for traffic to
the sites listed in the format requested for the periods set out in the
attachment.
Please note that these are the results for all http/https request to the
specified sites, broken down by month by number of requests. Each visit to
a site is likely to account for tens or hundreds of requests, so
individual visitors are probably 1 - 10% of the raw numbers.
You are free to use any information supplied for your own use, including
for non-commercial research purposes. The information may also be used for
the purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, for

permission of the copyright owner.
