Okoby collects two primary types of information: personal information you voluntarily provide to us, and automated technical data collected as you navigate our website.
Personal Information Voluntarily Provided
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you subscribe to our newsletter, leave a comment on our tech guides, or contact us directly. This information may include your name, email address, and the contents of any message you send us.
Automatically Collected Log Data
Like most modern websites, Okoby follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. This data is not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of this information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
Cookies and Web Beacons
Okoby uses "cookies" to enhance your browsing experience. These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.
Google AdSense and the DoubleClick DART Cookie

They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.
Note that Okoby has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. You can choose to opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for interest-based advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or by visiting http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.
