Data Collection Technologies, Interest-Based Advertising and “Do Not Track”
Data Collection Technologies. In addition to collecting your IP address as described above, we may also use certain Data Collection Technologies on our Websites such as:
Cookies. Cookies are small text files placed in your computer browser or other web-accessing device directories to store your information about your use of the Websites and your activities online (collectively, “Cookies”). A Cookie will typically contain the name of the domain (internet location) from which the Cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the Cookie (i.e. when does it expire), and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. To find out more about Cookies, including how to see what Cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
We use first-party, session, and persistent cookies. These cookies allow us to distinguish you from other users of our Websites, and to enhance this Website and your experience when you browse this Website.
If you do not wish to receive Cookies or wish to manage when you accept Cookies in general, you may set your browser to reject Cookies or to alert you when a Cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept our Cookies, if you set your browser to reject Cookies, you may not be able to use all the features and functionality of the Website.
Internet tags. Occasionally, we may use Internet tags (also known as Web beacons, action tags, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs and 1-by-1 GIFs) on our websites.
Cookies and Internet tags are placed on different pages throughout our Websites. We also use them to measure responses to our Websites. We may deploy Cookies and Internet tags through our analytical service partners.
Social Plugins. The Website may also use social plugins (e.g., the Facebook “Like” button) to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit our Website, the operator of the social plugin may be able to place a Cookie on your computer, enabling that operator to recognize individuals who have previously visited our Website. For further details about the information shared via a social media plugin, you should refer to that social media website’s privacy statement.
Google Analytics
This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses Cookies. The information generated by the Cookie about your use of this Website is generally transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Because we have activated “internet protocol anonymization” on this Website, Google shortens your IP address at a point within the European Economic Area before transfer to the United States. This means that the full IP address will only be transferred to Google in the United States only in exceptional circumstances for shortening there.
Google will use the received information to evaluate your use of this Website for Neurimmune, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage. The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other Google data.
Do not track (DNT). We do not respond to DNT signals offered by some browsers.
OUR SECURITY MEASURES
We have implemented reasonable safeguards designed to prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure or modification of Personal Information provided or collected through the Websites. Unfortunately, no system or online transmission of data can be guaranteed to be 100% secure and you should always take appropriate security measures to protect your Personal Information, including ensuring that you have up-to-date antivirus software.
STORAGE & RETENTION
We provide products and services around the world. Accordingly, we store and process Personal Information on Neurimmune’s servers, and the servers of third parties we hire to provide our services, worldwide. These servers may be located outside the country from which you interacted with Neurimmune.
We retain your Personal Information for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it has been collected.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Our Websites may feature links to third-party websites that we believe you might find useful and informative. We do not endorse or recommend these websites’ content or services, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of the operators of these other websites. We encourage you to be aware of and read the privacy notice of each website you visit. When you link these third-party websites, please remember that you are bound by the privacy policy of the third-party. We may also partner with other companies to provide you with content or services on a joint or “co-branded” basis using a co-branded website with both the Neurimmune logo and the logo of the co-branded partner displayed. You should read the individual privacy policies of the co-branded websites, as these policies may differ in some respects from this privacy notice.

We recognize the importance of protecting the privacy of children. Our Websites are neither intended for children nor are they designed to attract child users. Our Websites, their content and our services are intended for users over the age of eighteen (18). We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under age eighteen (18).
