Preferences for "Do Not Track"

Nemoj me pratiti funkcija je koja posjetiteljima omogućuje isključivanje opcije da ih mrežne stranice prate u bilo koju svrhu, uključujući upotrebu servisa za analitiku, oglašavačkih mreža i društvenih platformi. Opcije Nemoj me pratiti dostupne su u nizu preglednika uključujući:

  • Firefox
  • Internet Explorer
  • Chrome
  • Safari
  • Opera

Ako u svojem pregledniku omogućite opciju Nemoj me pratiti, Google Analytics poštovat će vaš izbor;

Ako ste omogućili opciju Nemoj me pratiti, neće vas se pratiti. To predstavlja dodatak isključivanja prikupljanja i analize podataka za izradu statističkih podataka za našu mrežnu stranicu;

Ako niste omogućili opciju Nemoj me pratiti, ali odlučite isključiti se, kolačić piwik_ignore bit će pohranjen u vašem pregledniku. Niti jednog posjetitelja s kolačićem piwik_ignore Google Analytics neće pratiti;

Ako ste na svojem pregledniku onemogućili sve kolačiće, i dalje ćemo prikupljati neke općenite podatke o vašem pretraživanju (npr. broj posjetitelja na našoj stranici), ali oni će biti manje precizni i vaši posjeti neće biti praćeni (ne upotrebljavaju se Piwik kolačići).
