Tracking of some of the actions you take on the Website, such as the content of searches you perform on the Website.
When you access the Service from a computer or other device, we may collect anonymous information from that device, such as your Internet protocol address, browser type, connection speed and access times.
We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies to make the Service easier to use, to make our advertising better, and to protect both you and Emervet.

This information is generally used to deliver the most relevant information to you (for example, how you use the application(s), and information about the type of device or computer you use, fixing bugs and otherwise improving the performance of the Service).
We use Google Analytics to help analyze how users use the Service. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users access and use the Websites, what pages they visit, and what other websites they used prior to coming to the Websites. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve the Websites and the Service. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Websites, rather than your name or other personally identifying information. Although Google Analytics plants a persistent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Websites, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. The Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy restrict Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Websites.

A cookie is a small text file that websites install on the computer or mobile device of users who visit them. Cookies make it possible for the website to remember user actions and preferences (login ID, language, font size, and other display preferences) so that it does not have to be reconfigured when you return to the site or browse through its respective pages. On some pages We use cookies to remember, without limitation:

But keep in mind that if you reject cookies, you may have to manually reconfigure your preferences each time you visit a site and that certain features and services cease to function.

The Site or Service also may include third party web beacons or software on other devices (such as smartphones, connected TVs, tablets and so on) that will provide similar capabilities to web beacons.

“Do Not Track” Signs
We may track your online behavior by using technology to increase the effectiveness of the ads or content provided on the Website or on the channels. Examples of online behavior that can be traced include response to promotions or advertisements, websites being visited, and content accessed. Currently, some browsers offer their users the option of selecting the “do-not-track” option in their configuration. These browsers, in turn, transmit signals to the websites with which the browser communicates. To the extent that there is no uniformity in the industry with respect to the use of this type of technology, for the moment We will not assign value or meaning to “do-not-track” signals and We will not respond to them.
