Cookies and Web Beacons:
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit weldingleader.com. These advertising companies may use information (usually not your name, telephone number, address, or email address) about your visits to our website and other websites.
They generally get the information through cookies and web beacons that you ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ while entering our website.
These companies use this information to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Or, in other words, provide targeted advertisements to you (such as showing you ads of New York-based companies’ furniture if you reside in New York).
Embedded Contents:
We may also use embedded content (images, articles, videos) in any of our content. If we do so, these embedded contents act just like an independent website. More specifically, as if you visited the website from where the content is embedded.
Just like us, these websites can also collect certain data from you. They may also use cookies and further embed another third-party website, content, or tracking system. If you are logged in to these websites, they may even keep track of what your activities are with their embedded content.
Analytics:
Like most other websites we also use Google Analytics which is an automatic data collection system. By using it, we collect information regarding the device, browsing patterns, and activities of the visitors.
However, you don’t need to worry about it as we do not have any intention of using the information for our personal gain. We use it for statistical purposes.
If you don’t want us to collect your information through Google Analytics, you can do so by using a browser add-on. Here is the link to the add on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
