Information Collection and Use

This document discloses Criminal Justice Degrees Online's information gathering and dissemination practices as they apply to individual site visitors.

Criminal Justice Degrees Online collects information from its visitors at several different points on its Web site.

Cookies

Cookies are small pieces of data stored on the visitor's computer tied to information about the visitor. Cookie data may be linked to personally identifiable information for data analysis and quality assurance purposes, but individual cookie data is never shared with or sold to any third parties. A session ID cookie expires when you close you browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's "help" file.

Criminal Justice Degrees Online uses cookies to track which areas of our site are most visited for the purpose of better optimization and visitor experience. We use cookies to follow a visitor from arrival to departure in order to help us better understand where our advertising efforts provide sales. If visitors reject the cookie, they should still use our site. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our visitors to enhance the experience on our site. See the "Profile" section. This privacy statement covers the use of cookies by Criminal Justice Degrees Online only and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Profile

We store information that we collect through cookies, log files, clear gifs, and/or third parties to create a profile of our visitors. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual visitors that details their viewing preferences. This information is not tied to the visitors personally identifiable information. We do not share your profile with other third parties.

Log Files

Our Web site servers store log files. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this data to analyze trends, administer the site, track trends in visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information about our visitor base as a whole. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Clear Gifs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)

We use a web software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web Beacons/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, and are used to track the online movements of Web visitors. The main difference between the two is that clear gifs are invisible on the page and are much smaller, about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Clear gifs are not tied to visitors' personally identifiable information.

Clear Gifs can "work with" existing cookies on a computer if they are both from the same Web site or advertising company. That means, for example, that if a person visited "www.companyX.com", which uses an advertising company's clear gif, the Web site or advertising company would match the clear gif's identifier and the advertising company's cookie ID number, to show the past online behavior for that computer. This collected information would then be given to the advertising company or Web site.
