Personally Identifiable Information or Third-Party Personally Identifiable Information Collected About You and How it is Used

Visitors to The Meemic Foundation website are free to explore the site without providing any personal information. In order to evaluate what The Meemic Foundation website visitors want and how to improve usage of the site, The Meemic Foundation logs a website visitor’s IP address (this is often a temporary IP address assigned by an Internet Service Provider [ISP] each time you log into the ISP), the type of operating system you are using and the type of browser software used. The Meemic Foundation may also keep track of the portions of The Meemic Foundation website you visit. This activity is done without The Meemic Foundation’s knowledge of your name, email address or other personally identifiable information.

“Cookies” are short bits of information that a web server can store temporarily within your web browser. Our website uses cookies to carry forward information you entered on one page to the next. The data in the cookies we send can only be used by our website. Our cookies do not read data from your computer’s hard drive or other website cookies.

There are two types of cookies. The first, known as persistent cookies, are saved to a computer’s hard drive until they expire on the date specified by the web server. The second, more commonly known as session cookies, exist only in memory and are destroyed once you close your web browser. We use both persistent and session cookies.

If you are concerned about the use of cookies, you can reject them. To do this, set your browser to not accept cookies. You may still use our website even though you reject cookies. However, rejecting cookies may prevent you from using certain functions or sections of our website.

The Meemic Foundation may also be using pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies: These may be used in connection with some Site pages and HTML-formatted e-mail messages to, among other things, track the actions of Site users and e-mail recipients, measure the success of our marketing campaigns, and compile statistics about Site usage and response rates.

Online behavioral advertising: The use of cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies allows our third-party vendors to deliver advertisements about our products and services when you visit the Site or other web sites or web properties across the Internet. These vendors may place pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or similar technologies on the Site and other websites or web properties, and also place or recognize third-party cookies when you visit the Site or other sites or web properties. They may use information about your visits to the Site and other web sites or web properties to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you.
