Photofacts uses cookies on this website. A cookie is a simple, small file that is sent along with the pages of this website and stored on your computer's hard disk by your browser. The information stored in it can be sent back to our servers on a later visit.
A cookie from the American company Google is placed through our website as part of its 'Analytics' service. We use that service to keep track of, and get reports about, how visitors use the website.
Google may provide this information to third parties where Google is legally required to do so, or in so far as third parties process the information on Google's behalf. We have no influence over that. We have not allowed Google to use the analytics information it obtains for other Google services.
The information Google collects is anonymised. The statistics we take from Google Analytics can therefore not be traced back to a person. Your IP address is expressly not passed on.
The information is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google states that it adheres to the Safe Harbor principles and has joined the US Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor programme, which means there is an adequate level of protection for the processing of any personal data.
Photofacts uses Google DoubleClick to show adverts on this site. Google DoubleClick is configured so that no personal details are stored. Adverts are therefore shown at random and no personal information is kept.
Media files, such as Google's YouTube videos, videos from Vimeo or photos from Flickr, often also use cookies to keep track of how often and by whom they have been viewed. Such media files are included in articles on Photofacts from time to time.
For YouTube we use the privacy option under which YouTube places no cookies until the moment you press a video's play button.
You have the right to ask to see, correct or delete your data. Use our contact page for that. To prevent misuse we may ask you to identify yourself adequately. Where it concerns personal data linked to a cookie, you need to send a copy of the cookie in question along with your request; you can find it in your browser's settings.
You can find more about turning cookies on and off and deleting them in the instructions for your browser and/or through its Help function.
