<p>The &os; Project uses Google Analytics, a web analytics
|
|
|
|
|
service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics is a tool
|
|
|
|
|
that enables the &os; Project to see how visitors to our Site
|
|
|
|
|
use our Site and how they arrive at our Site. Google
|
|
|
|
|
Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your
|
|
|
|
|
computer, to help our Site to analyze visitor activity. We
|
|
|
|
|
send Google Analytics data that reports on your use of the
|
|
|
|
|
Site. That data includes Your Usage Data and is not
|
|
|
|
|
anonymised before it is transmitted to Google Analytics.
|
|
|
|
|
This un-anonymised data is stored by Google on servers, once
|
|
|
|
|
it is transmitted to Google. Google will use this
|
|
|
|
|
information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the
|
|
|
|
|
Site, compiling reports on website activity for website
|
|
|
|
|
operators and providing other services relating to website
|
|
|
|
|
activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer Your
|
|
|
|
|
Usage Data to third parties where required to do so by law, or
|
|
|
|
|
where such third parties process the information on Google's
|
|
|
|
|
behalf. Google will not associate Your Usage Data with any
|
|
|
|
|
other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies
|
|
|
|
|
by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however
|
|
|
|
|
please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the
|
|
|
|
|
full functionality of our Site. By using our Site, you
|
|

consent to the processing of Your Usage Data by Google in the

|
|
|
|
manner and for the purposes set out above.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>With the exception of the transmission of Your Usage Data to

Google for the sole purpose of using Google Analytics and the
|
|
|
|
|
