“Traffic Data” is collected by the Coworking website and our third-party traffic analysis provider through the use of software that is included on the Coworking website as well as cookies that are stored temporarily on your computer. Together, these technologies help us manage our content by identifying which content is effective.
Cookies are small data files that are stored on a subscriber’s computer for record-keeping purposes. Cookies track where you travel on the Coworking website and what you look at. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. When you log into the Coworking website, your browser may ask if you want it to remember you as a registered subscriber of the Coworking website. If you accept, the session ID becomes a persistent cookie, which remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. Although cookies are used by most major websites and are accepted by default by most web browsers, it may be possible to disable cookies via your browser settings.
We use session cookies and usage data to make it possible to navigate the secure environment inside the Coworking website and to keep, and periodically track, information about you for the purpose of creating a personalized web experience and improving the Coworking website or measuring and conveying to others the performance levels of the Coworking website. We may link the information we store in cookies to any personally identifiable information you submit while on the Coworking website. This is for the purpose of creating a personalized experience within the Coworking website, to assist MBO COWORKING in understanding its users and subscribers and designing improvements to the Coworking website, and for the purpose of collecting usage and performance metrics.
