Our use of cookies and other tracking mechanisms
We and our third-party service providers use cookies and other tracking mechanisms to track information about your use of the Site and our Services. We may combine this information with other Personal Information we collect from you (and our third party service providers may do so on our behalf).
Currently, our systems do not recognize do-not-track requests from browsers. You can, however, deactivate certain tracking as indicated in this section (i.e. by deactivating cookies).
Cookies.
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer from your computer’s hard drive to your web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies help us make the navigation of our website and services easier, while others are used to enable a faster identification process or to track your activities on our website and with our services. There are two types of cookies: session cookies and permanent cookies.
Session cookies.
Session cookies only exist during an online session. They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or shut down your computer. We use session cookies to uniquely identify you within a session or while you are logged into the website. This allows us to process your online requests and transactions and verify your identity after you have logged into the website and as you navigate the website.
Permanent cookies.
Permanent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser or close your computer. We use persistent cookies to track aggregated information and statistics about your user activities.
Disable cookies.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can change your browser’s settings to block them in the future. The “Help” section in the toolbar of most browsers will guide you on how to prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to configure your browser to notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Visitors to our website who disable cookies will still be able to access certain parts of the site, but some features may not work.
Invisible graphics formats (“GIFs”), pixel tags and other technologies.
Invisible GIFs are small graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In comparison to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, invisible GIFs are incorporated discreetly into web pages. We can use invisible GIFs (such as web beacons, pixel trackers, or pixel tags) in connection with our website to, among other things, track the activities of website visitors, assist in managing content, and compile statistics related to website usage. We and our third-party service providers may also use invisible GIFs in HTML emails to our clients to help track email response rates, identify when our emails are read, and confirm if our emails are forwarded.
Third-party tracking and analysis.
We use automated devices and applications, such as Google Analytics, to assess the usage of our website. We may also employ other means of analysis to evaluate our services. We utilize these tools to assist us in enhancing our services, performance, and user experience. These entities may employ cookies and other tracking technologies to carry out their services. We do not share your personal information with these third parties.
Children under 13
Our Site and Services are not designed for children under the age of 13. We do not allow individuals under the age of 13 to register with us. Furthermore, we do not send any email correspondence to anyone who informs us that they are under 13 years old. If we discover that a child under the age of 13 has provided us with Personal Information, we will remove this Personal Information from our systems.
Security of Personal Information
ADN Design Inc. has implemented reasonable technology measures to protect all the Personal Information you submit to prevent their misuse or loss, such as firewalls and password-protected areas, using reasonable standards. These measures are also developed to protect Personal Information from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. However, please be aware that no data protection measure is completely foolproof when data is transmitted and stored over the Internet. We will update these measures as new technologies become available, as appropriate.
