Information we collect
We use various technologies (such as cookies, pixel tags, local storage [browser web storage or application data caches] and server logs) to automatically collect and store some information about the pages users visit on cattlemensheritage.com, the amount of time they spend on each page and so forth. We use anonymous, unique identifiers that allow us to keep track of that information. Those anonymous, unique identifiers are strings of characters that can be used to uniquely identify a browser, app or device. These identifiers serve a number of useful purposes, including security and fraud detection, or remembering your preferences.
We also automatically collect some nonpersonally identifiable information about visitors to our site. Examples include the web browser and operating system you are using to visit the site, your IP address, the domain of the website you came from (sometimes called a referring URL), how many times you visit, and the date and time of your visits, and the average amount of time you spend on our site. Sometimes we may also be able to identify the type of device you’re using to browse our site, the mobile network or even the geographic location of your device, depending on your device settings.
Sometimes we ask you to voluntarily provide personal information through a form on our website or another mechanism. This type of personal information typically includes data such as your name, email address, mailing address, phone number or other details which identify you personally. We never collect this type of information without your knowledge and permission.

Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. We do not specifically market to children under 13 years old, nor do we solicit, collect or maintain personal information from anyone we know is under the age of 13. If we become aware of information unknowingly obtained from someone under 13, we immediately delete that information from our files and records.
