Sending a cookie to a user’s browser enables us to collect Non-Personal information about that user and keep a record of the user’s preferences when utilizing our services, both on an individual and aggregate basis. For example, the company may use cookies to collect the following information:
- How often you upload documents, which authors / readers are most popular, etc.
