Google advertising cookies

Google uses cookies to help serve the ads it displays on the websites of its partners, such as websites displaying Google ads or participating in Google certified ad networks. When users visit a Google partner's website, a cookie may be dropped on that end user's browser.

1. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites.
2. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
3. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings. (Alternatively, you can direct users to opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.)

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of information that is placed on your computer when you visit certain websites. When we refer to “cookies” we include other technologies with similar purposes, such as tags and identifiers. When you first visit our sites using a new browser, or if you visit in private browsing mode, we will provide you with a cookies permission banner seeking your consent to use of cookies as required by law. From this banner you will be able to access our cookies management tool. By clicking OK or clicking through to any part of the site, we will start to manage your visit using cookies.

We use the following types of cookie, as will your browser:

1. (1) Analytics cookies that anonymously remember your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. They keep track of browsing patterns and help us to build up a profile of how our readers use the website. We use that information for customer analytics and to serve advertisements that we think might be of particular interest to you on our and other websites (see Section 7.5). Your browser may use similar cookies for similar purposes and to serve advertisements for others.
2. (2) Service cookies that help us to make our website work as efficiently as possible; remember your registration and login details; remember your settings preferences; to detect what device you are using and adapt how we present our services according to the screen size of that device; and meter the number of pages you view for the purpose of administering subscriptions to OCXme.
3. (3) Third party advertising and analytics cookies, which are placed by or on behalf of independent advertisers who are advertising on our site. These cookies may be placed within the advertisement and elsewhere on our site by us or by your browser. They are anonymous – they cannot be used to identify individuals, but they can also allow the advertiser or your browser to tailor advertising to you when you visit other websites using the same browser. They are used for statistical analysis by allowing the advertiser to count how many people have seen their advertisement or have seen it more than once, to make sure you are not repeatedly served with the same advertising messages.
4. We have no access to third party cookies and third party organisations have no access to ours. The third party organisations that place cookies, including your browser (such as Google) and the third party companies who pay for advertising and analytics services using this information, will have their own privacy policies.

The way we use information

1. We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties. You can request .OCX files by entering an email (optional) and is kept confidential and may only be used to notify you when the file has been released.
2. We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
3. We never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
4. When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and we may also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

Our Commitment To Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.

Our Commitment To Children's Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

How long we retain your data

1. If you upload a .ocx file, the file and its meta data are retained indefinitely. This data helps us provide accurate infromation pertaining to the .ocx file so that it can be verified and categorized automatically. This file meta data is also displayed on the file details page where site users can preview the .ocx file data before downloading. This helps users locate the correct version or variant for their particular case when resolving issues.
2. If you leave a comment, the comment and its meta data are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile (if any). All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Media / Image Meta Data

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. You can check your camera and/or software settings to verify if GPS location data can be disabled. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images uploaded on the website. Certain areas of the site may reprocess images (server-side) and remove any EXIF GPS data from images during reprocessing.

What rights you have over your data

1. If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
2. If you are a software developer or representative and would like your .ocx file removed; please contact us. We can blacklist or remove specific .ocx files upon request via md5 hash which will also prevent re-uploads. In addition, we can optionally promote or direct users to a publishers website (URL) for further assistance. This is particularly useful when users are looking to reinstall the latest version of software from an official source.
3. To protect your privacy and for security, we may also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.

How You Can Access Or Correct Your Information

You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending us a request that credibly shows error. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
