Your privacy is important to us. WorldBrainWave respects the privacy of visitors to its website (as defined in our Privacy Policy and in our Terms of Use). Our Cookie Policy applies to the website https://www.worldbrainwave.com (also at https://www.wbw.one) and describes the information we collect. We do not sell any personally identifiable information to any third parties. We do analyze user behavior in order to better serve you and other visitors. Tracking your activity through our site (what you click on, how long you stay) helps us make better decisions about content and design.

The WorldBrainWave website and our online cloud-based services uses cookies to:
- To make sure our website(s) works properly;
- To collect data about the use of our website including the number of visitors and how frequently the pages are viewed;
- To ensure the secure function of our online cloud-based service;

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device by websites that you visit. The cookies we use do not access your computer to obtain personal information and they do not collect information that could identify any user personally.

WorldBrainWave uses both session based and persistent based cookies. Session based cookies exist only during your web session and expire when you close your internet browser. Persistent based cookies are files that stay in one of your browser's subfolders until you delete them manually or your browser deletes them based on the duration period of a cookie. Some cookies are strictly necessary to enable core site or to authenticate your access. Cookies cannot be used to obtain personal information from your computer.

When you visit our website, we may view the IP address of the device you use to connect to the Internet. An IP address is the numeric address of a computer. The IP address recorded on website log files is the address provided by your internet service provider’s equipment and not your own personal computer’s address. We use this information to determine the general physical location of the device and the geographic regions of our visitors.

Your internet service provider will keep records of which customer is using any IP address or hostname at any given time, and so it is theoretically possible to trace back activity shown on any website log file to a specific individual. In practice, this can only be done with the explicit involvement of the internet service provider, and such a trace would therefore only take place in the event of serious criminal misuse of the internet and would be carried out by the police. WorldBrainWave will not attempt to associate IP addresses and hostnames with individuals. In the event of serious criminal misuse of the website, the matter would be referred to the police for further investigation.
