What does this mean in legal terms? What can they see?
Pearson may use a third party service to collect anonymous visitor information like IP addresses, browser types (such as Internet Explorer or Netscape), referring pages, pages visited and time spent on a particular site. Pearson collects this information (1) for statistical analysis of web page traffic patterns; (2) to administer our Site and servers; (3) to allow for auditing of our services by some third parties who have that right; and (4) for internal purposes to make marketing decisions.
Pearson will use another service to find out what kind of browser you use, where you go, when do you go, and how long you stay there. They collect the information to make an estimate on when people go to webpages, how often they go; when is traffic to a site slow or fast.They do all this stuff through something called tracking cookies…..By giving your consent, you are allowing them to attach something to your computer that will let them know your every move when on the computer. These tracking cookies will cause your computer to be slower and may put you at risk of getting a computer virus/infection.

Not in legal terms but in terms that we all understand……
"We will use the information we can get from your surfing practices to design what products we want to try and sell you and we will give this information to others that will pay us to get it."
