III. COLLECTION AND USE OF NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THROUGH EDEEU Education SITES, COOKIES, OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES AND WHEN WE GATHER STATISTICAL DATA

Overall Use of EDeeU Education Sites

When you use our EDeeU Education Sites, we reserve the right to collect information about how the EDeeU Education Sites are being used in order to improve the performance of our EDeeU Education Sites, diagnose problems with the EDeeU Education Sites, understand your interests, make our EDeeU Education Sites more useful to individuals, market products and services, validate, modify, enhance and/or improve any of EDeeU Education’s products, services and/or data, including the Service (including any PII contained therein) and to evaluate if certain uses of products and services result in use of additional products or services provided by EDeeU Education or its third-party marketing partners, such as if new domain name registrations are completed as a result of your use of the Service. The information we collect during these activities is not individually identifiable unless otherwise identified in this Privacy Statement.

Cookies, Tracking Technologies and Statistical Data

In addition to the personal information identified above, we use "cookies" and other statistical and tracking technologies as described in this Section in connection with the operation of our EDeeU Education Sites. A cookie is a piece of information that our EDeeU Education Sites send to your browser, which then stores this information on your system. Other statistical and tracking technologies, such as web beacons, clear gifs, HTTP headers, also work in ways that collect information about your visit and use of our EDeeU Education Sites. We may use both temporary and persistent cookies based on the cookie’s purpose. Some cookies are deleted when you close down your browser. These are known as session cookies. Others remain on your device until they expire or you delete them from your cache. These are known as persistent cookies and enable us to remember things about you as a returning visitor to our EDeeU Education Sites.

We use these technologies in four ways:

To provide a product or service: A cookie may be used to provide you with a specific product or service. For instance, if you request our EDeeU Education Sites to remember your login password or remember your profile in a response to a blog post, we deposit a cookie on your computer to facilitate that product or service. If you are logging into an access-controlled section of our EDeeU Education Sites, we set a temporary session cookie to establish that you have been authenticated. The information contained in these cookies consists of random data that is used by our server to authenticate the browser requests to the server for that particular session. These cookies do not include any type of personal information. This bit of information is erased when you close your current browser window. If you choose not to accept a temporary cookie, you will not be able to navigate in these online applications. We also use a cookie when you visit our EDeeU Education Sites and request documentation or a response from us. When you are filling out a form, you may be given the option of having our EDeeU Education Sites deliver a cookie to your local hard drive. You might choose to receive this type of cookie in order to save time in filling out forms and/or revisiting our EDeeU Education Sites. We only send this type of cookie to your browser when you have clicked on the box labeled "Please remember my information" or another box with an equivalent content when submitting information or communicating with us.

To facilitate website use: If a cookie is used, our EDeeU Education Sites will be able to remember information about your preferences and movement either until you exit your current browser window (if the cookie is temporary) or until you disable or delete the cookie. For instance, we may deposit a cookie to remember which of EDeeU Education’s regional EDeeU Education Sites you have selected to access. Many users prefer to use cookies in order to help them navigate a website as seamlessly as possible. If you are accessing our services through one of our online applications, our web server may automatically send your browser a temporary cookie, which is used to help your browser navigate our EDeeU Education Sites. The information contained in these temporary cookies is a direction value that lets our software determine which page to display when you hit the back button in your browser. This bit of information is erased when you close your current browser window.

To understand our visitors: When you visit our EDeeU Education Sites, our systems may automatically collect statistics in aggregate about visitor behavior. We may monitor statistics and other data such as how many people visit our site, the user's IP address, which pages people visit, how users interact with page content, from which domains our visitors come, which browsers people use and how they move about our EDeeU Education Sites. We use this data about your visit for aggregation purposes only. These statistics are used to help us to understand our visitors’ interests and improve the content and performance of our EDeeU Education Sites. If you come to our site from one of our business partners, our web server may also send your browser a temporary cookie that reflects an origination code for that business partner. We use this information for statistical and marketing purposes.

We also use a cookie when we track traffic patterns on our EDeeU Education Sites. Analysis of the collected information by our tracking technologies allows us to improve our EDeeU Education Sites and the user experience. If you choose not to accept a persistent cookie, you will still be able to use our EDeeU Education Sites. Even if you choose to receive this type of cookie, you can always set your browser to notify you when you receive any cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it in each situation in which one is sent. We may supplement this unidentified user data with other data to better understand our users. For instance, we may relate a user’s IP address to the company to which it relates to better understand our visitors’ interests.

To advertise: We may tailor our advertisements to certain users based on the unidentified user data and related information. Also, we may receive information on unidentified users’ movements on other websites to tailor advertisements to them on our EDeeU Education Sites and, likewise, provide unidentified user information to service providers, such as an ad agency, who places our advertisements on other websites to market to these users that visit them. You can opt out of this tracking by accessing the link below. You will need to invoke these opt-out procedures on each computer you use. If you opt out, you may still see EDeeU Education advertisements on other websites you visit, but these ads are not user specific and are not placed because of your past visits to our EDeeU Education Sites.

To opt out of advertising which utilizes cookies, access the following link:

All major Internet browsers allow you to control cookies. You can learn more about adjusting browser controls at the following website: http://www.aboutcookies.org. (Note that EDeeU Education does not control this website and is not responsible for its content. It is provided as information only. For the most current browser-specific information, please consult your browser’s manufacturer).

Do Not Track

We do not track our customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore we do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. However, some third party sites do keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.

If you are in the European Union, you may opt-out of certain third party cookies that we and other websites may use for targeting through http://www.youronlinechoices.eu or www.aboutads.info. Opting out of one or more ad networks only means that those particular members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you will stop receiving any targeted content or ads on our EDeeU Education Sites or other third party websites. If your browser is configured to reject cookies when you visit one of the above referenced opt-out pages, and you later erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your preference may no longer be active. Since all of these cookies are managed by third parties, you should refer to the third parties' own website privacy notifications and policies for further information.

Can I withdraw my consent?

If you wish to withdraw your consent at any time, you will need to delete your cookies using your Internet browser settings, and disable cookies. Please note that disabling cookies will affect the functionality of our EDeeU Education Sites, and may prevent you from being able to access certain features on our EDeeU Education Sites.

IV. USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

If you respond in a blog forum on our EDeeU Education Sites, you should be aware that any personal information you submit there can be read, collected, or used by other users of these blog forums, and could be used to send you unsolicited messages.

You are also responsible for using these forums in a manner consistent with the Rules of Engagement or other terms and conditions set forth on the relevant forum website. Third-party social media buttons displayed on our EDeeU Education Sites may record your IP address, browser type and language, access time and referring website addresses.
