Cookies

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small amount of data, which often includes a unique identifier that is sent to your computer or mobile phone (referred to here as a "device") browser from a website's computer and is stored on your device's hard drive. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Many sites do this whenever a user visits their website in order to track online traffic flows.

Users have the opportunity to set their devices to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time.

How does Cognitive Match use cookies?
The Cognitive Match system uses cookies and IP addresses (an IP address is a number that can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on the internet) to identify visitors to a website.  We respect your privacy, and adhere to the Data Protection act in the UK and appropriate legislation elsewhere. We use cookies to identify devices and store basic profile data to make navigation easier for our users.

Log Files

As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files.  This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data.  We use a third-party tracking service that uses tracking technologies to track non-personally identifiable information about visitors to our site in the aggregate. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.  We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade PII with third parties except as described in this privacy notice.  We reserve the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights and/or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on our Web site.
In the event Cognitive Match goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your personally identifiable information will likely be among the assets transferred.  You will be notified via notice on our Web site for 30 days of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
