Aggregate (Non-Personally Identifiable)
Information We Collect From You and Methods of Collection
During a normal visit to our site, no personally identifiable
information about you is collected. All information on our site is free
to browse at your leisure without the need for you to provide us with
any personal information. Demor's Lincoln - Mercury Inc. does
collect "aggregate" information, which is non-personally identifiable
information. This means that we do not track these items on an
individual basis that identifies you, but rather accumulate this info on
an aggregate basis that includes all site visitors. Non-personal
information includes tracking the site pages visited or the amount of
time spent on our site.
Our primary goal in collecting aggregate information is to be able to
perform site metrics that allow us to improve the functionality of the
website. We need to collect aggregate information in order to track page
visits, recognize peak usage times and analyze potential site redesign.
When you visit our website a server housing the pages automatically
generates a "session log." We use session logs to help us determine how
people travel through our site. In this way, we can structure our pages
so that the information most frequently visited is easier to find. By
tracking page visits, we can also determine if the information we're
providing is being used. The data generally gathered is the Internet
Protocol (IP) address from which you came (which contains no personal
information), the web site that referred you, the pages you visited and
the date and time of those visits.
When you view one of our websites or interactive advertisements, we may
use "cookies" to collect aggregate data. A "cookie" is a small text file
that helps us in many ways to make your visit to our website more
enjoyable and meaningful to you. For example, cookies avoid you having
to log in every time you come back to one of our websites. They also
allow us to tailor a website or advertisement to better match your
interests and preferences. There are a couple different types of
cookies. A "session" cookie is stored only in your computer's working
memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing session. When you close
all your browser's windows, or when you shut down your computer, the
session cookie disappears forever. A "persistent" cookie is stored on
your computer's hard drive until a specified date, which could be
tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Persistent cookies stay on
your computer until either a) they expire, b) they are overwritten with
newer cookies, c) you manually remove them. Most browsers can be
configured not to accept cookies, however, this may prevent you from
having access to some site functions or features. |
