Information the site owner gathers

The site owner keeps the standard log information such as your IP address, browser, operating system, and the date and time of your visit. The site owner does not collect personal information such as your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number.

Furthermore, the site owner uses Google Analytics, which uses first-party cookies to track visitor interactions. Information thereby collected corresponds to the standard log information mentioned above, and it does not associate or share personally identifiable pieces of information with other Google services, such as advertisements (see below), or across domains. Further information on Google Analytics may be found at Google Analytics Overview.

 

Advertisements

Third parties, primarily Google, its certified third-party vendors and ad networks, may drop and use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies on this site to collect information about your visits to this and other websites. These do not collect personal information such as your name, e-mail address or billing information, or other data which can reasonably be linked to such information by Google.

More specifically, Google uses DART cookies and similar methods to gather information to associate a browser with categories of interests to provide tailored advertisements to the said browser, and may share such information with its partners. This process does not associate the browser with the personal information mentioned above, and does not target ads to your person, but the browser, with the exception of users of Google +1 (see below). Furthermore, DART cookies will not associate the browser with sensitive pieces of personal information, such as race, religion, sexual orientation, health or sensitive finanical information. For further details of Google's privacy policy regarding advertising, please visit its Privacy Center and Privacy Policy for Google Ads and the Google Display Network. If you would like to opt out from Google serving advertisements based on your browsing habit and behaviour, please visit Google Ads Preferences.

If you use Google +1, please note that ad serving may be targeted to your person, not the browser. For further information, please read Google +1 Button Privacy Policy .

You can also opt out from cookies, including Google-certified third-party vendors and ad networks, that track your behaviour at EVIDON. Please consult this list of Google's certified third-party vendors and ad networks.
