Methods of Collection

COOKIES

The use of cookies is now standard, and you will find them used by most major websites. A cookie is a text file stored on a user’s computer hard drive containing information about the user. Cookies can also enable us to track the interests of our users to enhance their experience on this site, and to deliver content specific to a user’s interests. We will place a cookie in the web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Netscape) file of your computer when you visit our site; we or an independent advertising company or other contractor whom we engage may also from time to time deliver a uniquely-numbered cookie to your web browser through an e-mail if you have opted-in to receive e-mail from us. You may delete or decline the cookie using the tools in your web browser, and you may still use our site; however, some parts of our site may not work properly for you.

ADVERTISING

We sometimes use an independent advertising company to serve ads on our behalf across the Internet (“advertising company”). These advertising companies also help us analyze our advertising campaigns and the general usage patterns of visitors to our websites. This is primarily accomplished through the use of cookies and/or action tags. Such companies may place these tags on our websites or on other websites. Used in conjunction with cookies, action tags are programmed by the advertising company to collect certain anonymous information about visitors to our website and other websites. This non-personally-identifiable information may be used to provide ads about goods and services of potential interest to you, or to improve your website experience. The advertising company does not know the names, addresses, e-mail addresses or telephone numbers of website visitors, and does not link online actions to an identifiable person. The advertising company reports the anonymous data that it collects on our behalf back to us without identifying specific website visits (other than to our own Websites). We use this information to improve our websites and our advertising. In order to deliver more relevant content or advertising, from time to time we may link the information we receive to our customers’ personally identifiable information. If we do link such data, it is treated under this policy as personally identifiable information as described above under Collection of Information.

This website uses the Google AdWords remarketing service to advertise on third party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. It could mean that we advertise to previous visitors who haven’t completed a task on our site, for example using the contact form to make an enquiry. This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone’s past visits to the contactdd.com website. Of course, any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.
