1.g. Cookies
This site uses cookies to ensure the proper functioning of the registration process and to personalize the site. Cookies are small text files placed on your hard drive by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by the web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of delivering relevant content, eases navigation, etc. When you return to the website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved so you can easily use the site's customized features. To accept cookies on our site, web beacons or action tags, also known as clear gif technology, may be used. This technology helps us compile aggregated statistics about the usage of Documenos Software websites, such as the number of users who clicked on key elements (like links or graphics) on a Documenos Software web page, blog, or newsletter. We may share aggregated site statistics with partner companies. You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of this or other websites you visit.
1.h. Use of Web Beacons
Documenos Software web pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that allow Documenos Software to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services. Documenos Software may include web beacons in promotional email messages or newsletters 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 service providers to place persistent cookies on your computer. This allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or open certain emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page views. Documenos Software prohibits the use of web beacons to collect or access your personal information.
