3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE USE IT

We collect certain information from and about its users three ways: directly from our web server logs, cookies, the user, including in response to surveys and questionnaires.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time.

4. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES

Company web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow Company to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Company may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.

Some of these web beacons may be placed by third party service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or email communications. These web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognise your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the site. Company prohibits web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal information.
