How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies and Web Server Logs?

Similar to other commercial websites, our Website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” web server logs and Google Analytics to collect information about how our website is used.

“Cookies” are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user’s web browser on the user’s hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user’s transactions on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from web page to web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.

Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. Information gathered through cookies web server logs and Google Analytics may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the website visited just before and just after our website. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual user. Our server logs allow us to count how many users visit our website and evaluate our website’s visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your email address or any identifying information about you (although you DO enter those kinds of information in the application process). However, we do store IP addresses for fraud detection and prevention purposes. These technologies do permit us to deliver focused messages or other such responses to you while you are visiting our site or to provide advertising to you when you are visiting other sites. Any such offers, from The Aware Leader LLC or third parties sponsored or approved by The Aware leader LLC, will be provided in accordance with the respective sender’s privacy notice and any preferences that you have previously provided to that sender.
