Information We Collect from Visitors
Although you are not required to register or provide any personal information to access the Site and the Services, we collect non-personal information, i.e. information that is not traced back or used to identify an individual. M3 collects such data including, as applicable, the referring website, the type of browser you use, the time and date that you accessed the Services and the pages you visited and viewed throughout the Site. Taken in aggregate, this information enables us to better develop and fund the Services, provide content, and respond to our users' needs. We will explain how this is done in the "Usage Tracking and Cookies" section of this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect when contacting Us
We will collect your name, contact details and comments when you either email us or use our Contact form. We use these details to enable Us to respond to your query and help with your inquiry.
Usage tracking and Cookies:
M3 collects information about your activity on the Site using technologies such as cookies, including third-party cookies, web beacons and server log files.
Usage Tracking: M3 uses traffic analysis software on our servers to track user traffic patterns throughout the Services. M3 uses this data to analyse overall usage statistics according to IP address, domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the data automatically sent by the browser whenever a web page is requested.
M3 uses cookies to monitor and manage Services development and delivery, and potentially to permit greater personalization of the Services based on your preferences and specifications. We may assign cookies to devices that access our Services to help us dynamically generate advertising and content to users of the Services.
M3 and our third party business partners may also use "web beacons" or clear .gifs, or similar technologies, which are small pieces of code placed on a web page, to monitor the behavior and collect data about the visitors viewing a web page. For example, web beacons may be used to count the users who visit a web page or to deliver a cookie to the browser of a visitor viewing that page.
We and our third party business partners use the information automatically generated by cookies and web beacons, as well as other information that we or they have, to provide you with an optimal website experience.
At this time, the Site does not recognize automated browser signals regarding tracking mechanisms, which may include "do not track" instructions. However, you can change your privacy preferences regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies through your browser. You may set your browser to accept all cookies, block certain cookies, require your consent before a cookie is placed in your browser, or block all cookies. If your browser is set to block cookies, websites that are cookie-enabled will not recognize you when you return to the website, and some website functionality may be lost. The Help section of your browser will tell you about your options for managing your cookies.
