Log Files
As is true of most Web sites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date and time stamp, and click stream data. This data is not considered personal data because it does not identify individual users. We use this information to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
Propensity Management
Propensity management is the management of an individual's inclination or natural tendency toward certain interests, products, needs, and so on. In order to tailor our communications with you to make sure that we are addressing your specific needs and not overwhelming you with unwanted information, we use cookies to handle propensity management. A cookie is a piece of information that is stored on your computer's hard drive by your Web browser. When you revisit www.castlepointsolutions.com, our server recognizes the cookie, giving us information about your last visit. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can alter the settings of your browser to prevent automatic acceptance. If you choose not to receive cookies, you can still use most of the features of our Web site, including purchasing items.
This privacy statement covers the use of propensity management by this site only and does not cover the use of propensity management by any advertisers. We work with companies, such as google, that use third-party cookies and Web beacons to collect anonymous information that helps us measure and improve our content and advertising effectiveness. Google collects and analyzes anonymous usage and volume statistical information from our users. This data is collected only in aggregate form.
Clear Gifs (web Beacons, web Bugs)
We employ a software technology called clear gifs (also known as web beacons or web bugs) that help us better manage content on our site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, which are used to track the online movements of web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, clear gifs, which are about the size of a period, are embedded invisibly on webpages. We do not tie the information gathered by clear gifs to our customers' personally identifiable information.
