Overview

Bamberg Dialogues uses “cookies” and other similar technologies to collect information about your activities on our Website and Services. This is so that we can customize certain aspects of your specific experience, and improve the overall function and efficiency of our Sites and Services. Cookies are small data text files stored locally on your computer that uniquely identify your browser.

We may use cookies – for example, Google Analytics, Google Adsense, Facebook Connect, and others – to perform various tasks such as: monitoring aggregate usage metrics, storing and remembering your login information (if you choose this option), storing your account preferences, and personalizing the Services we make available to you.

Types of Cookies We Use

Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary. They are automatically deleted once you close your Internet browser. These cookies allow our Website to link your actions during a single browser session, making your experience consistent and seamless.

First Party Cookies

First Party cookies remain on your computer hard drive until you delete them or until they are otherwise removed upon expiration. These cookies are set by Bamberg Dialogues directly and may store preferences, account settings, and other information that improves your experience across visits.

Third Party Cookies

Bamberg Dialogues permits third-party service providers and other companies to use cookies or other similar technologies on our Website. These companies may collect your information, track your behavior on our Website, and gather information about your use of our Websites or Services and other online services over time and across different services.

Additionally, some companies may use information collected to deliver targeted ads on behalf of us or other companies, including on other websites or online services. We are not responsible for the functioning of cookies and other technologies used and placed by third parties on your device.

We may gather information about you automatically through your use of the Website, e.g., your IP address, your current location, and how you navigate the Website. We may collect information by automated means, including technologies such as pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs and web beacons. We use this information to better understand, customize, and improve user experience with our Website and Services.

This may include Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of our Website and report on activities and trends. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt-out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

Pixel Tags & Web Beacons

Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on website pages or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. When you access these pages or open or click an email, the pixel tags and web beacons generate a notice of that action. These tools allow us to measure response to our communications and improve our web pages.

Other Technologies

We collect many different types of information from other technologies to improve the quality of our Website and the services we provide. For example, we may collect information about the device you use to access our Website, your operating system and/or mobile device type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located.

We may record the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. An IP address is a unique identifier that devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the Internet.

In many cases, the information we collect using cookies and other tools is only used in a non-identifiable way, without any reference to your Personal Information. For example, we use information we collect about all website users to optimize our Website and to understand website traffic patterns. We may aggregate the data about visitors to our Website and use it to improve the quality of our Website and Services.

If we do associate the information we collect using cookies and other technology with your Personal Information, then it will become “Personal Information” and will be protected as described in our Privacy Policy.

Your Cookie Choices

You may set your browser to block or otherwise control what cookies your browser or mobile device accepts via your browser or mobile device settings. Additionally, you can choose to modify your settings and delete those cookies that are otherwise stored on your device. Please consult the instructions provided by your browser or your mobile device’s manufacturer to determine how you can limit the placement of and/or remove cookies or other technologies.

Please note, however, that limiting or disabling the use of cookies and other technologies may impact or adversely affect your ability to perform certain transactions, use certain functionality, and access certain content on our Website.

Do Not Track

Your browser and other mechanisms may permit you to send do-not-track signals or other similar signals to express your preferences regarding online tracking. However, because there is not yet a defined response to do-not-track requests, our Website does not respond to your browser’s do-not-track request.

As noted above, third parties may collect data that relates to you. We cannot control third parties’ responses to do-not-track signals or other such mechanisms. Third parties’ use of data relating to you and responsiveness to do-not-track signals is governed by their respective privacy policies.
