Log Data
We want to inform you that whenever you visit our Service, we collect information that your browser sends to us which is called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser version, pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.
Cookies
Cookies are files with a small amount of data commonly used as an anonymous unique identifier. These are sent to your browser from the website that you visit and are stored on your computer’s hard drive.
In essence, cookies can be considered as short-term memory for the web to enable a site to ‘remember’ little pieces of information between pages or visits. They are widely used to make the web experience more personal.
However, some cookies may collect data across several websites, creating ‘behavioral profiles’ of people that can then be used to decide what content or adverts to show you.
This Service uses these “cookies” to collect information and to improve our Service. To serve this purpose, a GDPR (AVG) & CCPA-compliant cookie banner is in place. It gives you the option to either accept or switch off cookies by category (functional, performance, analytics, advertisement, or others).
If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
Note that, should the cookie banner not appear due to technical malfunction, the “implied consent” policy applies, meaning that we assume you agree to cookies being stored as you use this Service. If you disagree, then you should either:
- Not use this Service.
- Delete the cookies after your visit to this Service.
- Browse this Service using your browser’s anonymous usage setting (“Incognito” in Chrome, “InPrivate” for Internet Explorer, or “Private Browsing” in Firefox and Safari).
Like most online services, this Service uses first-party and third-party cookies for several purposes. First-party cookies are mostly necessary for the website to function correctly, and they do not collect any of your personally identifiable data.
The third-party cookies used on our website are mainly for understanding how the website performs, how you interact with our website, keeping our services secure, providing advertisements that are relevant to you, and all in all providing you with a better and improved user experience and help speed up your future interactions with our website.
