What information do we collect?
• Non-personal information
Like many organizations, we monitor the use of our websites by collecting “non-personal information,” which is information that, by itself, cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information (like your zip code) or technical information (like the type of browser you are using).
VeloxityLabs may collect non-personal information through cookies and other similar methods. Cookies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser, so that the website remembers how to interact with you and provides a personalized experience. For example, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart and to understand and save your preferences for future visits. Most web browsers accept cookies and similar files, but you can usually change the browser settings to prevent this. Visit your browser or device’s help section to determine whether these settings are available. Please note that we may not recognize or respond to browser or device signals around tracking, and some browser or device settings may interfere with your use of features on our websites. Please also visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more information about cookies and how to disable them.
In some cases, third-party companies known as service providers are authorized to place cookies and similar technologies on our websites with our permission. These may be used to help us deliver our own content and advertising, and to compile anonymous site metrics and analytics. Third-party cookies and similar technologies are covered by the third parties’ privacy policies.
