- Persistent Cookies
A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on a user's hard drive for an extended period of time. Cookies can be removed, and future placement of cookies rejected, by following Internet browser help file directions. Allowing the TechDigs.net cookie to remain on your computer makes it easier for you to log on and use the site. If you reject the cookie, you may still use the site, but you will be required to verify your identity at various points.
- Log Files
Log files record Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser types, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track a users' movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Users will be notified via notice on the Site in advance of a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If, as a result of the business transition, your personally identifiable information will be used in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection, you will be given a choice consistent with the section of this Policy on Opting Out.

Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. All employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices.
