Usage Tracking, Cookies and Web Beacons
Usage Tracking
Data gathered through aggregate tracking information is derived mainly by tallying page
views throughout our sites. This information enables us to better tailor our content to visitor needs
and to help our advertisers understand the demographics of our audience. We do not correlate any usage
tracking with data about individual users. We create aggregate reports on user demographics
and traffic patterns for advertisers and partners. This allows more effective advertising, and allows
our users to receive advertisements that are pertinent to their needs.
Because we don't track the usage patterns of individual users, an advertiser will never know that a specific user clicked on a specific advertisement. We track user traffic patterns throughout the site. We break down overall usage statistics according to a user's domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser). We may use your IP address to help diagnose server problems, and to administer our Web site.
Cookies
Our site uses 'session cookies' for membership
logon and the creation of carts to order products. These cookies
may contain supplied member information and are erased upon browser
shutdown. In addition, we may set 'persistent cookies' to
monitor site usage. Usage cookies only contain data which does not
personally identify the visitor. You can refuse cookies by turning
them off in your browser. You do not need to have cookies turned
on to access the ITtoolkit.com web site, however certain areas and
content will be inaccessible or will not function without cookies.
If you have set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you
will receive the warning message with each cookie. If you are
concerned about unwanted cookies, we suggest setting your browser to
accept cookies from originating servers and to reject cookies from
third-party servers.
Web Beacons
We may use Web beacons on our site or other sites and
may permit third parties to place them on our site to monitor the
effectiveness of advertising or for other legitimate purposes. A
Web beacon is a small, graphic image on a
Web page, Web-based document or in an email message that is designed to
allow the site owner or a third party to monitor who is visiting a site.
Web beacons are often invisible to the user because they are typically
very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background of
the Web page, document or email message. Web beacons are represented as
HTML IMG tags in the Web page; users may be able to click on "view
profiles" of the web page to see whether the page is using a web beacon.
Web beacons collect the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon
is sent to, the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from and the time
it was viewed.
Use of Information
ITtoolkit.com only uses the information collected to gather feedback about user needs and interests, to respond to information requests, and to provide advertisers with aggregate audience demographics. We do not share or disclose any of the information collected about individual users with any third party. We will divulge information only as necessary to comply with state and federal laws.
External Links
ITtoolkit.com may contain links to other sites. We do not control the practices of these external sites nor of our advertisers. If you have questions about how one of our advertisers uses information when you click their ad and go to their content, please contact them directly.
We have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. Furthermore, to protect our our customers, we use the PayPal processing service to secure all online credit card purchases.
