Any information, including personal information, which you choose to provide on the Site may be stored in a cookie. You can view and delete existing cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow users to refuse cookies, but doing so may impede the functionality of some portions of our Site. Cookies also enable Pease Development Authority to improve the quality of the Site and services, improve searching functions and results, and track trends. Certain web browsers allow users to enable “Do Not Track” functionality, or to specifically disable Cookies through the settings of the browser.

WEB BEACONS

Web beacons are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages.

SERVER LOGS

The Pease Development Authority servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit the Site. The server logs may include information such as your web request, IP address, browser type and language, dates, times and cookies.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Our Site uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of the Site is normally transferred to a Google server in the USA, and is stored there. As the IP anonymize function is activated on our Site, your IP address will, within the Member States of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, first be shortened by Google. Only in exceptional cases will Google transfer the full IP address to a Google server in the USA, and will shorten it there. On behalf of the operator of this Site, Google will use this information in order to analyze your usage of our Site, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide further services to the website provider relating to the usage of the Site and the internet. The IP address transferred by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be combined by Google with other data. In case you prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly, you may possibly not be able to fully use all the features on this Site. Furthermore, you can prevent collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the Site (including your IP address), as well as processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing a browser plug-in provided under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
