This information may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address (or proxy server), device and application identification numbers, your location, your browser type, your Internet service provider and/or mobile carrier, the pages and files you viewed, your searches, your operating system and system configuration information and date/time stamps associated with your usage.

  • Cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies
    We use cookies and similar technologies such as web beacons, tags and Javascript alone or in conjunction with cookies, to compile information about the usage of our websites and interaction with emails from us. Open Nuclear Network will always ask for your consent prior to placing a cookie on your computer or device. When you visit our websites, our servers or an authorized third party may place a cookie on your browser, which can collect information, including Personal Data, about your online activities over time and across different sites. Cookies help us ensure our websites are not misused by bots and prevent account login information sharing. We use both session-based and persistent cookies. Session-based cookies exist only during one session and disappear from your computer or device when you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or device after you close your browser or turn off your computer or device.

All cookies placed by Open Nuclear Network expire after 12 months.

Social Media Features are either hosted by the respective social media network or hosted directly on our website. To the extent the Social Media Features are hosted by the respective social media networks, the latter may receive information that you have visited our website from your IP address. If you are logged into your social media account, it is possible that the respective social media network can link your visit to our websites with your social media profile.
