Information We Collect
All information collected online about a visitor is voluntary, although some services are only accessible by registering user details. The information gathered includes, but is not limited to your name, address, institution and e-mail address. When viewing our site by linking from another web page we may store the name of that web page for purposes of internal administration. We also monitor data about the movement of visitors through our site — an activity which does not require any identifiable personal information and is used to improve web site structure, flow, and content.

Cookies
Cookies are small amounts of data sent from our web server to the user’s hard drive that identify those who have previously visited our site. If you configure your browser to reject cookies, you may still use some, but not all, portions of our site and will be prompted to enter your ID and password each time you access a restricted area.

How Collected Information Is Used
We do not provide the information we receive from you to third parties. The main use of this information is to inform you of important changes to our site, new services or features. Furthermore, we collect statistical information to strengthen our marketing efforts by monitoring traffic on the site. This allows us to identify specific target areas or groups, enabling us to further improve our site.

Safety Measures Applied
All data we collect from you on our site is protected against unauthorized access. The demographic information about each user is stored on Karger servers that are behind a firewall and enclosed within a secure data center. For electronic payments we use the services of a payment gateway firm, for whose privacy practices S. Karger AG is not responsible. When you connect to our secure server, all your personal information is encrypted using the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) so that it cannot be read while travelling over the internet.
