Tracking User Behavior

Automatically Collected Information
Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by SDIA. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the SDIA websites and properties.

Use of Cookies / Technology
The SDIA websites may use “cookies” and/or other future digital technology to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is stored in the browser directory or program data subfolders on your computer’s hard drive by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize SDIA pages, or register with an SDIA site or services, a cookie helps SDIA to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same SDIA website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the SDIA features that you customized.

You can accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the SDIA services or websites you visit.
