The well informed decision respects the privacy of its users completely. As you have probably noticed the well informed decision does not ask for any personal information from users whatsoever on this site. Users are able to use the well informed decision without registering, telling us anything about themselves, or signing in. The well informed decision believes that there are no plausible reasons for any site to require or even request that you provide them with any personal information whatsoever and suggest that you be extremely suspicious of any sites that do ask for (or demand) such information.

The well informed decision does regularly conduct a rudimentary log-analysis in order to determine how many users visit the site, which pages are visited, and similar information. The well informed decision regularly collects the following information by analyzing its logs:
- Number of unique users (but not their identity)
- Number of page-views for all pages at the well informed decision
- Referrer reports, indicating which links users followed to reach the well informed decision (and, if they used search engines, which search terms were entered).
- Host reports -- though these are used solely to identify search engines spidering the site. Note that host reports can not be used to identify individual internet users (at least not with our hard- and software).

Similar to other websites, well informed decision utilizes a standard technology called "Cookies" to collect information about how our website is used.

Cookies are a technology which can be used to provide you with tailored information from a Web site. A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then store it on your system. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it.

Information gathered through cookies may include date and time of visit, pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the websites visited just before and just after our website. Cookies are also used to measure which advertisements users have seen and how users respond to them. This information is not shared or sold to third party organizations for any purpose.

The well informed decision also obtains information from users through direct and voluntary contact initiated by users (through e-mail, and links). Note that any information that users voluntarily provide (or provide in response to questions or statements by the well informed decision or any other party) to the well informed decision by other means -- including but not limited to e-mail, snail mail, fax, telephone, and personal communications -- may, however, be used on this site at the sole discretion of the well informed decision. This includes, but is not limited to: links, suggestions, critical comments, and words of praise.

The content of this statement may be altered at any time.
