Cookies. The Site uses cookies to track the use of the Site and to facilitate and enhance the user experience on the Site. These may be cookies that we implement or third-party cookies implemented by our suppliers. “Cookies” are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. The Site's cookies enable us to facilitate access to different areas of the Site by showing, for example, when and how you and others visit the Site, what search terms you use to find the Site, and which third-party web sites direct you to the Site. Cookies also tell us which pages of the Site are popular and which are not. Cookies can help us improve your enjoyment of the Site, for example, by remembering your contact information when you access or use the Site. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can disable this function so that your browser will not accept cookies. Please be aware that disabling the cookie function may impact your use and enjoyment of the Site.

Google Analytics. Like many web sites, the Site uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service offered by Google Inc. to collect information about your use of the Site. This information consists of information that your web browser automatically sends to Google, such as the web address of the page that you visit and your IP address. Google may also set cookies or read preexisting cookies. This information is stored on Google´s servers. Google uses this information to provide us with reports about traffic to the Site and your visits to the Site (such as the domain from which you access the Internet, the web address of the web site from which you linked to the Site, and the time and date of your visit the web sites that you view and click through). We will use this data to improve the Site structure and content. We use the anonymizeIP option. This activates the IP anonymisation on our website and your IP address is abbreviated by Google beforehand within Member States of the European Union and in other EEA contracting states. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the US and abbreviated there. Google uses such information at our request in order to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide further services to the website operator relating to website use and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data. Google may also use this data in accordance with their Privacy Policy which can be found at http://www.google.com/privacy.html.

Other Information. We may also collect information that, in and of itself, cannot be used to specifically identify you, such as the characteristics of the device and software that you use to access the Site. This information includes without limitation Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, Internet browser type, other characteristics of your device and software, domain names of your Internet Service Provider (ISP), a record of your usage of the Site, the time of your usage and aggregated personal data that cannot be used to specifically identify you. IP addresses are not used to track a user’s session and we do not link IP address to any personally identifiable information. IP addresses help us determine your geographic location and how often different areas of the Site are visited. We may use this information to monitor and prevent fraud, diagnose problems, and anonymously estimate demographic information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot, in and of itself, be used to specifically identify you. The information we collect from third parties may be combined with the information we collect from you.

C. How We Use and Share Information

We may use any personally identifiable information or other information that you voluntarily provide us in order to provide you with information and to respond to your requests. We will not sell, share or rent the information that is collected to others in ways that differ from what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

We do not sell, rent, or loan any of your personally identifiable information to any third party except as set forth below.

Aggregate data is information that describes the habits, treatment plans, usage patterns, or demographics of users as a group but does not reveal the identity of particular users. This data will not identify you but will be used by Walter K. internally as statistical information to determine such things as user demographics and usage patterns of our Site. We may use aggregate data to understand the needs of our community of users, to determine what kinds of programs and services we can help provide, and to improve and enrich our products, services, and Site content.

E. Third-Party Ad Networks and Behavioral Advertising

They may also use information about your visits to the Site and other web sites to target advertisements for goods and services. These targeted advertisements may appear on the Site or on other web sites that you visit. The anonymous information is collected through the use of a pixel tag, which is industry-standard technology used by most major web sites.

G. Do Not Track and Ad Networks

We will automatically collect cookies and other non-personally identifying information when you visit the Site. Due to this automatic collection, we do not currently honor “do not track” requests. We do not currently participate in third-party ad networks.

H. Information Security

The Site has security measures in place to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration will not occur, Walter K. uses industry standards to help safeguard against such occurrences. In the event that a breach into our security systems occurs and there is a possibility that an unauthorized person acquires your personal information, we will notify you of such a breach if required under applicable law.

I. Third-Party Web Sites
