‍5. USE OF COOKIES
‍This website uses cookies to assist in making your online experience more individualized. For more information on cookies and how we use them, please see our Cookie Policy.

‍6. USE OF WEB BEACONS
‍Humansitas website pages may contain electronic images known as web beacons—also referred to as single-pixel gifs—that permit Humansitas to count users who have visited those pages and for other related website statistics – (e.g., recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity). Web beacons are not used to access your personal information on Humansitas’ websites; they are solely used to compile aggregated statistics concerning the use of the Humansitas’ websites.

‍7. DO NOT TRACK
‍Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference user can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. However, there is currently no universal standard for sending and receiving DNT signals. Due to this lack of universal standard, it would be impossible for us to promise that we comply with all known and unknown DNT standards.

Therefore, Humansitas does not in any way monitor or respond to DNT signals or other mechanisms that provide a choice regarding the collection of personally identifiable information about activities over time and across different websites or online services.

If a universal standard for DNT becomes available, we may revisit our DNT Policy.
