IP Protocol (IP) Addresses
When you access the Internet using your computer, your Internet service provider assigns you an IP Address. Generally, every time you connect to the Internet, your IP Address changes. In some circumstances (i.e. with some broadband connections) your IP Address may not change in which case it can be associated with your particular computer and may therefore amount to personal information. Examples of the type of information that can be collected using your IP Address include your type of Internet Browser and the type of computer operating system you are using. HTK Hamburg GmbH, or its authorized agents, use your IP Address to collect and report aggregate information on how the website is being used and ways in which the website can be improved.

As you navigate through the website, certain information may be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses, cookies and navigational data collection. A 'cookie' is a bit of information that a web site sends to your web browser that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.

This information will only be used internally by HTK Hamburg GmbH for statistical market data collection. No statistical information will be provided to third parties or outside sources. If you do not want your usage to be tracked in this way please email us at htk@htk-usa.com .
This website also uses 'persistent' cookies. 'Persistent' cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie. Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (e.g. login passwords), helping to determine which areas of the website you find most valuable and customising the website based on your preferences.
