However, European Telework Online does obtain some types of non-personally identifiable information such as the Internet Service Provider you use to connect to the Internet, your browser type, or the type of computer operating system you use (Macintosh or Windows, for example). The information collected by European Telework Online is used for the purpose of analysing patterns of use of the site and enhancing the value of the site for users.

In some cases, you may voluntarily provide personal information when you complete a specific form at the site. This information is used by European Telework Online to assist us in respond to whatever query or other interest you may have expressed. In addition, European Telework Online may combine this information with other users' information and review it in an aggregate form to understand the types of individuals who use the site, raise particular types of questions or express particular types of interest. If you have requested it your email address may be added to a European Telework Online mailing list.

Advertising links

To support the provision of our free-of-charge information and services, pages at European Telework Online may carry advertising. If you click on an advertising banner your browser will connect with pages at the advertiser's site and information may be collected by the advertiser or an advertising broker. European Telework Online seeks to work with advertisers and brokers that adopt an equivalent ethical policy with regard to user information. Here is a statement from one of our advertising brokers:

You should satisfy yourself that you are comfortable with the privacy policy adopted by any site you visit. European Telework Online supports and advocates ethical policies with regards to privacy and data protection but cannot be held responsible for the actions of any other site.
