II. Website Data Collection and Purposes

When you visit the HDD Broker website, we collect certain information, including information that may identify you ("Personal Information"), by automated means, using technologies such as cookies, pixel tags, browser analysis tools, server logs and web beacons.

Pixel tags and web beacons are tiny graphic images placed on website pages or in our emails that allow us to determine whether you have performed a specific action. This section contains information about how we use the information collected by these technologies.

COOKIE TYPE PURPOSE(S)
Necessary Cookies These cookies enable our website to function properly. Without them, we would not be able to provide you the services you request, nor would you be able to use our websites as intended. They allow us to recognize you when you return, help us provide a customized experience, and enable us to detect certain kinds of fraud.
Functionality Cookies These include Adobe Flash Cookies, Microsoft Silverlight, and similar technologies which remember your settings, preferences, and usage in a manner similar to browser cookies to personalize and enhance your online experience, but which are not managed through your browser. To manage your Flash and Silverlight Cookies, please see Adobe’s and Microsoft’s websites.

They may also be used to track the efficiency of our advertising campaigns on HDD Broker and non-HDD Broker websites.

III. The Information We Collect

We collect many different types of information from cookies and other technologies. For example, we may collect information about the device you use to access our website, your operating system type, browser type, domain, and other system settings, as well as the language your system uses and the country and time zone where your device is located. Our server logs also may record the IP address or derivative of the device you use to connect to the internet. An IP address is a unique identifier that devices use to identify and communicate with each other on the internet. We may also collect information about the website you were visiting before you came to HDD Broker and the website you visit after you leave our site.

In many cases, the information we collect using cookies and other tools is only used in a non-identifiable way, without reference to Personal Information. For example, we use information we collect about website users to optimize our websites and to understand website traffic patterns. In some cases, we do associate the information we collect using cookies and other technology with your Personal Information. Additionally, if the settings on your geo-aware mobile devices permit our mobile applications to collect location information, we will collect that information automatically.

HDD Broker and its parent company have relationships with third-party advertising companies to perform tracking and reporting functions for our web processing. These third-party advertising companies may place cookies on your computer so they can display targeted advertisements to you.
