Use of traffic data
Each time a visitor comes to the Tools4Mfg.com web site, we collect some information to improve the overall quality of the visitor's online experience. At Tools4Mfg.com, we collect the visitor's domain name (e.g., whether the visitor is logged on from ibm.com or yale.edu), referral data (e.g., the address of the last URL visited prior to clicking through to Tools4Mfg.com), and browser and platform type (e.g., using a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform).
Tools4Mfg.com collects this visitor information for purposes of internal reporting, product monitoring, product improvement, and targeted advertising. We count, track, and tally the visitor's activity into an overall analysis of general traffic flow within the Tools4Mfg.com web site. To do this, collected visitor information is gathered into group data, which may then be shared with our advertisers. However Tools4Mfg.com will not disclose your individual identity or personal data without your permission. When Tools4Mfg.com does present group information to outside companies, no one will be able to identify you or contact you.
