We are more aware of the dangers of the internet than most. Despite our stringent security practices, our URL was briefly hijacked in 2008 by a Chinese aphrodesiac company! The unfortunate reality
is that without protection the internet is a dangerous place.
Having been a victim of spam and viruses ourselves,
we are committed to
your privacy. Here are answers to some basic IT security questions:
What data do we collect automatically ?
None.
Do we use Cookies or Tracers?
No,
we do not. In our view, cookies are a double-edged sword. Essentially, they place data files on your hard drive through your website server. They can also be used
for tracking purposes, or in some cases, to make the
site easier to use. Cookies can effectively identify an anonymous visitor, and
understand how they navigate a targeted web site.
If you detect cookies emanating from our site, please
let us know and we will track them to the originator.
With most internet browsers (we recommend Minefield
or some similar secure product), you should be able to block them, or at least
receive a warning before one is stored. Some
websites track scripts or "tracers" that
recognize a unique identifier from a cookie placed
on your hard drive by another website. We do not use
ANY tracers to gather information on your use of the internet.
We strongly suggest you use a powerful firewall if driving a 32-bit system, such as ZONEALARM. If your computer is pwerful enough, we suggest you switch to a 64-bit operating system.
What about external links?
For your convenience, we provide suggested links to third-party web sites. These sites are not operated or controlled
by Aerothentic, and we cannot be responsible
for their privacy practices, or the content of their sites. |
