Tracking User Behavior
OOTB may keep track of the websites and pages our users visit within OOTB, in order to determine what OOTB services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within OOTB to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by OOTB. This information can include: your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the OOTB website.
Use of Cookies
The OOTB website may use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk 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 OOTB pages, or register with OOTB site or services, a cookie helps OOTB 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 OOTB website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the OOTB features that you customized.
You have the ability to 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 OOTB services or websites you visit.
