Collection and Use of Personal Information

Our website uses Google Analytics to collect information about the use of our website. Google Analytics collects information from users such as age, gender, interests, demographics, how often they visit our website, what pages they visit, and what other websites they have used before coming to our website. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to analyze traffic, remarket our products and services to users, improve our marketing, advertising, and to improve our website. We have enabled Google Analytics advertising features such as remarketing with Google Analytics, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit our website, not your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected using Google Analytics with Personal Data. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit our website, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google also uses specific identifiers to help collect information about the use of our website. For more information on how Google collects and processes your data, please click here.

You can prevent Google Analytics from using your information by opting out.

When you purchase products offered through our website, we will ask you for your name, mailing address, phone number and credit card information (such as account name, address, credit card number, expiry date and verification number) in order to fulfill your purchase.

When you subscribe to one of our products or services or participate in surveys, forums or discussion groups (when made available), New Society Publishers Ltd. will ask you to provide certain information about yourself and the company you work for. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. Depending upon the activity, some of the information that we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

As you browse our and other websites, online ad networks we work with may place anonymous cookies on your computer, and use similar technologies, in order to understand your interests based on your (anonymous) online activities, and thus to tailor more relevant ads to you.

By agreeing to accept our use of cookies, you are giving us, and third parties we partner with, permission to place, store, and access some or all the cookies described below on your computer.

The following is an explanation of the types of cookies we use:

You can also opt-out of a third-party’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting NAI consumer opt-out page and/or DAA opt-out page.
