  3. TRACKING
    1. The Platform makes use of “cookies” to automatically collect information and data through the standard operation of the Internet servers. “Cookies” are small text files a Platform can use (and which The Knowledge Trust may use) to recognise repeat users, facilitate the user’s ongoing access to and use of a Platform and allow a Platform to track usage behaviour and compile aggregate data that will allow the Platform operator to improve the functionality of the Platform and its content.
    2. The type of information collected by cookies is not used to personally identify you.
    3. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allow you to deny or accept the cookie feature. Please note that cookies may be necessary to provide you with certain features available on the Platform, and thus if you disable the cookies on your browser you may not be able to use those features, and your access to the Platform will, therefore, be limited. If you do accept a “cookie”, you thereby consent to The Knowledge Trust’s use of any Personal Information collected by it using that cookie subject to the provisions of this Privacy Policy.
    4. The Knowledge Trust retains the right to
      1. monitor and analyse your actions on the Platform by making use of third-party tools, which includes but is not limited to Google Analytics and Google AdWords. Any such use of third-party tools is made with the trust that your Personal Information will be properly protected; and,
      2. collect your IP information. When you use the Platform, The Knowledge Trust collects your IP address. This address identified your internet service provider but does not identify you as an individual. The Knowledge Trust can also collect your domain name address, the type of Platform software you use and the type of operating system you use. This information is used to improve user experience and for general statistical purposes. The Knowledge Trust owns and reserves all rights to non-personal statistical information which is collected and compiled by The Knowledge Trust.
