Commitment to Privacy

Protecting the security and privacy of your personal information is important to BioConnect and to the way we conduct our business in compliance with laws on privacy and data protection in the countries in which we operate. We hope this Privacy Policy will help you understand what personal information is collected by BioConnect, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.

Our Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics across our websites to track our visitors. Google Analytics captures data about our visitors including the source of the traffic, the duration of the visit, the type of device being used to view the website, the city and country in which the visitor is located, and how the visitor interacts with the website. Google Analytics uses cookies to obtain this data and by continuing to use our website, your consent to place these cookies will be assumed and cookies will be placed. The tracking information allows us to better understand our visitors and their engagement level with our content. Google Analytics collects information anonymously. It reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. We will not collect nor report on any personally identifying data from our visitors.

What Are Cookies? 

Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive.

What Additional Google Analytics Advertising Features Are Used On This website? 

We have also enabled Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. For more information on this feature, please visit the following link: https://goo.gl/35Mk84. Demographics and interests data provides information about the age and gender of our visitors, along with the interests they express through their online and purchasing activities. This data is collected through a third-party DoubleClick cookie. Analytics then collects any demographic and interests information available in the cookie. By using this feature we gain insight into the behaviour information relating to visitor age, gender and interests on an anonymous and aggregate level. This will help us understand browsing behaviour so that we can provide users with a better experience while visiting our sites. We do not use these features to serve ads to our visitors.

How Do I Opt Out Of Google Analytics Tracking?

You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you visit our site. Website users who don’t want their data collected with Google Analytics can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. To opt out of Analytics for the web, please visit Google Analytics’ opt out page (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) and install the add-on for your browser. For more details on installing and uninstalling the add-on, please see the relevant help resources for your specific browser. This add-on does not prevent data from being sent to the website itself or in other ways to web analytic services.
