VI. How We Protect Personal Information

URE has appropriate physical, technical, and administrative safeguards in place designed to protect your Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. You should keep in mind, however, that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free.

A "cookie" is an element of data that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your system. URE uses different kinds of cookies on the Site. For detailed information please see our Cookie Notice.

(ii) Do-Not-Track Signals

Your browser may allow you to send "do-not-track" requests to websites you visit. If you enable this feature and your browser sends a "do-not-track" request, the Site will respond by deactivating all nonessential cookies set on the Site.

(iii) Google Services

On the Site, URE uses several services provided by Google:

(a) Google Analytics

This Site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

On behalf of the website provider, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Site, compiling analytics, demographics, and interest reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available here.
