B. Automatically Collected Data & Log Files

Like most standard websites, dotexplainer uses log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks. This data is non-personally identifiable and is used solely to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement on the site, and gather demographic information.

2. Cookies and Web Beacons

dotexplainer uses “cookies” to store information about visitors’ preferences, record user-specific information on which pages the user accesses or visits, and customize web page content based on visitors’ browser types or other information sent via their browser.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our site. Google and third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to dotexplainer.com or other websites on the internet.

  • DART Cookie: Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites across the Internet.
  • Third-Party Vendors: Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology in the advertisements and links that appear on dotexplainer, sending them directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) may also be used by third-party ad networks to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see.

Note: dotexplainer has no access to or control over these cookies used by third-party advertisers.
