Information Collected Via Technology
As you use ADVKEN, certain information may also be passively collected and stored on our or our service providers’ server logs, including your Internet protocol address, browser type, and operating system. We also use Cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for which you searched and viewed, or on which of the advertisements displayed on ADVKEN you clicked. This type of information is collected to make ADVKEN and solutions more useful to you and to tailor the experience with ADVKEN to meet your special interests and needs.
An “Internet protocol address” or “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet.

For example, we, or our service providers, may track your IP Address when you access ADVKEN to assist with ad targeting.
“Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a website.
