Cookies

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes an anonymous unique identifier that is sent to your browser from a Web site's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. It can be used to provide you with a tailored user experience.

How do we use cookies?

We may set and access our own cookies on your computer. We use cookies to facilitate the usage measurement of our website and the distributed interactivity and measurement of digital editions. We do not maintain any database of personally identifiable information that could be contained in cookies.

What information do we put into user cookies?

When you open a digital edition, we set cookies to identify you as a unique visitor, to maintain your session, and to test your browser and OS settings.

Do we retain the cookies?

We will retain cookies that are set by our website or digital editions on your computer and will use them to recognise you when you return to the site or publication.

Third-party cookies?

We may also allow other companies that are providing content, such as publications, on our website or in digital editions to set and access their own cookies on your computer. Other companies' use of cookies is subject to their own respective privacy policies. We do not have access to any information stored in cookies by third parties about you.

Internet Protocol Addresses

Your computer uses Internet Protocol or IP addresses every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer so that data (such as the web pages you request) can be sent to you. Our server automatically collects IP addresses. Digital Alternatives will not use your IP address to attempt to personally identify you.

Referrers

A ‘referrer’ is the information passed along by a Web browser that references the web URL you linked from, and is automatically collected by our web server. This information is collected and used by Digital Alternatives to understand the websites referring traffic to our website and to present appropriate content to our potential customers. Digital Alternatives tabulates referrer information on an aggregate basis to identify trends and traffic patterns.

Digital Alternatives may enter into agreements with content partners that require us to count the number of product downloads stemming from a referral from a content partner site. This information is collected, used and aggregated by Digital Alternatives to fulfil the reporting requirements of those agreements. This information may also be combined with the referrer information described above and tabulated on an aggregate basis to identify general trends and traffic patterns.

Other

Digital Alternatives may automatically receive and record information in our server logs or from our cookie-based tracking service from your browser, including your IP address, your computer's name, the type and version of your web browser, referrer addresses and other generally accepted tracking information. We may also record website page views (hit counts) and other general statistical and tracking information that is aggregated with that of other users in order to understand how our website and digital editions are being used.
