Some third parties, such as our business partners and service providers, provide us with personal information about you, such as the following:
2.3 Information we automatically collect when you use our Site
In order to access and use certain areas or features of the Site, you consent to our collection and use of certain information about your use of the Site through the use of tracking technologies or by other passive means.Your consent to our access and use of this “passively collected” information includes, but is not limited to, the domain name of the website that allowed you to navigate to the Site, search engines used, the internet protocol (IP) address used, the length of time spent on the Site, the pages you looked at on the Site, other webpages you visited before and after visiting the Site, the type of internet browser you have, the frequency of your visits to the Site, and other relevant statistics, including the following:

We collect information (including personal information and Traffic Data) when you use and interact with the Site, and in some cases from third party sources.Such means of collection may include:
4. Tracking Tools, Behavioral Advertising, and Opt Out Options
4.1. Tracking Tools
We may use tools outlined below in order to provide our Site to, advertise to, and to better understand users.
4.2. Behavioral Advertising
We may use a type of advertising commonly known as interest-based or online behavioral advertising.This means that some of our partners use Tracking Tools, such as cookies, pixel tags, and web beacons, to collect information about a user’s online activities to display Violux ads to the user based on the user’s interests (“Behavioral Advertising”).Such partners may include third-party service providers, advertisers, advertising networks or platforms, traffic measurement service providers, marketing analytics service providers, and other third party service providers (collectively, “Advertising Service Providers”).Other Tracking Tools used by our partners may collect information when you use the Site, such as IP address, mobile device ID, operating system, browser, web page interactions, geographic location and demographic information, such as gender and age range.These Tracking Tools help Violux learn more about our users’ demographics and internet behaviors.

Some web browsers allow you to reject cookies or to alert you when a Cookie is placed on your computer, tablet or mobile device.You may be able to reject mobile device identifiers by activating the appropriate setting on your mobile device.Although you are not required to accept Violux’s cookies or mobile device identifiers, if you block or reject them, you may not have access to all features available through the Site.
This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of cookies and other Tracking Tools by any third parties, and we aren’t responsible for their privacy policies and practices.Please be aware that some cookies placed by third parties can continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Site.

Some web browsers (including Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) incorporate a “Do Not Track” (DNT) or similar feature that signals to web services that a visitor does not want to have his/her online activity and behavior tracked.If a web service operator elects to respond to a particular DNT signal, the web service operator may refrain from collecting certain personal information about the browser’s user.Not all browsers offer a DNT option and there is currently no industry consensus as to what constitutes a DNT signal.For these reasons, many web service operators, including Violux, do not proactively respond to DNT signals.For more information about DNT signals, visit http://allaboutdnt.com.
