Cookies
ANB Software Technologies may use "cookies" in some areas of our Website. Cookies are small text files placed on your hard drive that assist ANB Software Technologies in providing a more customized website experience. A cookie allows our site to store pieces of information in your browser and to give your browser an identifier used only on our site, without identifying you. A cookie tracks navigational habits on a website and thus allows us to customize services to the interests of the user and to determine which areas of the site are more popular than others. For example, a cookie can be used to store registration information in an area of the site so that a user does not need to re-enter it on subsequent visits to that area. The use of cookies is intended to make navigation of this Website easier for you and to enable us to monitor individuals' use of our site for the purpose of continuing to improve its usefulness without identifying the individual.
You have the option to configure your Internet browser to notify you when you are offered a cookie. If you do not want to receive a cookie from our Website, you may block cookies on a case to case basis or simply block all cookies. If you are not sure whether your browser has this capability, or if you do not know how to implement it, you can check with the software manufacturer or your Internet service provider. If you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies as soon as you visit our site.
IP Addresses
We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration, to filter traffic, to look up use domains and to report statistics. This is statistical data about our users' browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.
Use of Information
When you provide your personal information to ANB Software Technologies via this Website, ANB Software Technologies ordinarily uses such information to better understand your needs and provide you with better services.

In each instance, ANB Software Technologies will use your information only for the purpose for which you provided it.
We may also use your data to provide you with information about services which may be of interest to you, and we may contact you about these by mail or telephone.

If you are an existing customer we may contact you by electronic means without additional consent with information about services similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale to you.
From time to time, we may also use your personal information to contact you for market research or to provide you with marketing information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum, we will always comply with applicable law in this regard, including where applicable giving you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such direct marketing or market research material. We will also follow legal and internal requirements for avoiding the delivery of unwanted mail to you, such as allowing you to opt in, where applicable, before receiving unsolicited material.

In addition, access to certain applications or services may involve particular uses, disclosure or transfer of the personal information being collected during registration for that application or service. If required under the laws of your country of residence, you will be notified of such intended uses, transfer or disclosure and asked to provide your consent. Failure to provide your consent where so requested may mean you will not be provided access to the applications or services for which your personal information cannot be lawfully processed.

ANB Software Technologies assumes no responsibility for the information practices of websites to which our site provides links, nor does ANB Software Technologies endorse or make any representation about such third party sites or any information, software, or other products, services or material found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them.
