3. Non Personally-Identifiable Information: What We Collect
We collect and use non-personally identifiable information about you in the following ways:
Cookies
At certain points in your visit to the Kährs site, our server may send a "cookie" file to your computer. Your Web browser may prompt you to accept this file unless you have set your browser preferences to accept all cookies automatically. Cookies are employed primarily as a service to our customers, to extend the relevance and responsiveness of the Kährs site. We may link cookie information with any personally-identifiable information you provide us.
Other Non-Personally-Identifiable Information
The Kährs Web site may collect non-personally identifiable information during your visit, such as type of browser, operating system, domain name, or IP address. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve" up Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address. When you visit pages on Kährs' Web site our servers log your IP address. We do not link IP addresses to any personally identifiable information. This means that your session will be logged, but you remain anonymous to us. IP address information is used only to improve the service of the Kährs site, and is then discarded at the end of each session on our site.
Kährs also collects information through "referrers" and various environmental variables. A "referrer" is information the Web browser passes along to Kährs’ Web server that references the URL from which you came. "Environmental variables" include, among other things, the domain from which you access the Internet, the time you accessed our Web site, type of Web browser and operating system or platform used, the Internet address of the Web site you left to visit Kährs, the names of the pages you visit while at our Web site, and the Internet address of the Web site you then visit. We collect all of this information to allow us to detect broad demographic trends, to provide information tailored to your interests and to enhance your experience on Kährs’ Web site. Kährs may store "referrer" information for a limited period of time prior to deleting this information.
