IP addresses (an IP or Internet Protocol address is a numerical label that can identify a specific computer or network device on the Internet). The information from cookies and IP addresses do not contain your personal details.
You may be asked to supply personal details and this information is supplied on a voluntary basis and we will at this point be specific with how this information will be used.
3. What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of text stored on your computer by your web browser. They act as a memory for websites allowing website to distinguish one visitor from another. They record information about your online preferences and allow certain websites to tailor to your interests. It enables easy passage and intuitive use within certain websites.
As text a cookie is not executable. They cannot replicate themselves and they are not viruses.
There are two types of cookies:
"Session cookies" are a temporary cookie which is website specific. They help the website recognise you from one page to the next within their website and remember any information you have entered. This cookie is automatically deleted when you close your web browser.
"Persistent cookies" are stored in your web browser and will remember you on subsequent visits to help improve your user experience. As an example if you choose a particular language on your first visit to a website, then this will be remembered when you return in a different session. These cookies will remain on your web browser until they are erased or expire.
We utilise both types of cookies and we will also use cookies within our website network as a third party. As a third party we use cookies to serve advertisements and to review the performance of a particular advertising campaign. The data collected is non-personal and is used for improving services to our partner organisations.
4. How do I manage my cookies?
Each website can send its own cookie to your browser only if your web browser preferences permits it. You can change your preferences to accept all cookies, to notify when a cookie has been issued or not to accept any cookies. However by disabling cookies you may not be able to take advantage of all of the interactive features offered by certain websites.
You can manage the behaviour of what cookies you want to accept in your web browser's preferences. Each browser is different so please refer to the 'Help' section within your browser for details on how to manage your cookie preferences.
5. What are Web beacons?
A web beacon is an electronic image normally referred to as a tracking pixel, single-pixel (1 x1), or a clear GIF. It is placed on certain websites within each page source code.
Web beacons are used for similar purposes as cookies. We use them to track the traffic patterns of website users from one page to another for review at a later date to improve services, website features and usability. They will also provide information on the performance of a particular advertising campaign.
Like cookies they do not contain or disclose any personal information. They are normally used in conjunction with cookies to monitor the activity of a website. If you prevent cookies from being sent to your web browser the web beacon will still record you as an anonymous visit.
6. How is my information used?
We will use your non-personal information to improve the services we provide and arranging relevant advertising, commercial opportunities and competitions, as well as ensuring the best editorial coverage. We will also use your non-personal information to personalise the way that our service is presented to you.
When serving advertisements using our software into our network then we will use the unique cookie within your web browser and the non-personal information related to that cookie to serve relevant adverts based on your activity.
Clickbrokers will not ask to gather, or use personal information about any user in the course of delivering our advertising campaigns.
We may use third parties to facilitate or outsource certain features or services of our business. These third parties are subject to confidentiality agreements and legal restrictions under the Data Protection Act. Use of these organisations will be for the sole purpose of the specified operations of the service we provide you and they are prohibited to collect personal information without prior consent. If you are concerned that a third party is collecting personal information erroneously then please contact us.
7. How secure is my information?
At all times we have security measures and technical safeguards in place to prevent unauthorised access, theft or loss of any personal or non-personal information, from both inside and outside our company. Our employees are aware of and accountable for compliance with these procedures.
