What information we gather during your visit
We automatically collect certain information from you when you visit this website. This data is used to gather metrics on site usage, including the geographic location of visitors and pathways navigated through the website. The information we collect is not linked to anything that identifies you as an individual. Your session will be tracked, but you will remain anonymous as a user. We also gather device and browser-related information.
Also, when you use any self-test interactive elements in the Toolkit, such as by clicking a True or False button on a “Test Yourself,” “Think It Through,” or “Quick Quiz” page, we do not record your answers.
How we use your information
We use gathered information to track user trends and site usage with the goal of improving our visitors’ experience and optimizing our websites. We also use the information to administer this website and prevent abuse.
How we share your information
Information we gather may be shared with campus constituents to improve programs, outreach, and other campus initiatives. However, we will not sell this data to third parties for their use in direct marketing or advertising, or for promoting their products and services.
Information we gather may also be shared within your organization and within Cornell University to better understand how the Toolkit is being used. For example, common uses of this information are to learn how many people visited the Toolkit over a certain period of time, how long on average they remained on the site, and how many pages were viewed during an average visit. Another common use is to discover which pages are most popular.
