We may use data collection tools such as “cookies”, “pixel tags” and other similar electronic tools to indirectly and automatically collect information about User behavior on the Website. Such information is used to enable us to provide better User experience and continuously improve it.

2.2

A “cookie” is a small amount of data that is sent to the User’s browser from a web server and is eventually stored on the User’s computer hard drive. It acts as an anonymous tag that identifies Your computer, but not you personally. Cookies have the ability to store information about web pages viewed and the advertisements viewed or clicked. For Users who have availed our services, cookies may also save User information and screen preferences. Certain pages of the Website may also have cookies placed by third parties and we do not control the use of cookies by such third parties.

2.3

Whether You want Your web browser to accept cookies or not is left to your choice. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie that gives you the opportunity to decide whether to accept it or not. If You haven't changed Your computer's settings, it is most likely that Your browser already accepts cookies. If You choose to decline cookies, You may not be able to fully experience all features of the Website. You can also delete Your browser cookies or disable them entirely, but this may significantly impact Your experience with the Website and may make parts of the Website non-functional or inaccessible since certain features we offer are only available through the use of cookies. We recommend that You leave them turned on.

While Korgen uses both permanent and temporary cookies, most of the cookies used are “session cookies”, meaning that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of a session.

If you turn off the cookies, the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous website visit.

The anonymous information collected by Cookies and Pixel Tags is maintained distinctly and is not linked to the personal information You submit to Korgen.
