Website visitors

Like most website operators, H2O Marketing collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. H2O Marketing’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Golden Brio’s visitors use the website. From time to time, H2O Marketing may release non-personally-identifying information in aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
