1. Access logs
Each request to the server is logged with the requesting IP address, the browser identifier, the page requested and a timestamp. GigLedger reviews these entries for security and troubleshooting only, and they are deleted on a rolling schedule.
2. Advertising
Pages may include ads delivered by third-party vendors, Google among them.
- Vendors, including Google, rely on cookies to select ads according to a visitor’s earlier visits to gigledger.fyi and to other websites.
- Through its advertising cookies, Google and its partners can serve a visitor ads based on visits to this site, to other sites, or to both.
- Personalized advertising from Google can be switched off in Ads Settings. Many other vendors honor an opt-out registered at aboutads.info.
Google’s own account of these practices: Partner sites.
