2. Use of Cookies
VillageTalk may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a website/app, a cookie helps the website/app to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases website/app navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality.
VillageTalk reserves the right to share aggregated website/app statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website/app unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into VillageTalk a website/app that relies on third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings, then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our website/app.

When you register, we will request some personal information such as name, address, email, telephone number or facsimile number, account number and other relevant information.

If you purchase by credit card, this information may be forwarded to your credit card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. We will not disclose personal identifiable information we collect from you to third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:

In the course of serving advertisements to this Platform, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.
In addition, we use clear GIFs or pixel tags to help manage our online advertising. These clear GIFs enable our ad serving company to recognize a browser's cookie when a browser visits this website/app. This allows us to learn which banner ads bring users to our website/app. The information we collect and share through this technology is not personally identifiable.
