Website Analytics
To improve and optimise the user experience on our website, we use so-called tracking technologies. Starsview uses them to see which pages and products customers have visited to improve the quality of the content and products we provide. For those purposes, Starsview uses two main services: Google Analytics & Console and Facebook.
Google Analytics
Starsview website uses Google (Universal) Analytics from Google Inc. Google Analytics can read certain text files (cookies) located on the client’s computer. Starsview does not share or get any customer information, such as name or contact details through Google Analytics. Location of the client is roughly determined by IP address in use. The data provided through Google Analytics is encrypted. For better marketing analysis Google Analytics will store cookie information for 38 months.
To prevent the transmission of cookie-generated information, the client can install a browser plug-in. But in doing so, the customer will opt-out not only from Starsview but also from any other website which uses Google Analytics. You can get the plug-in from this link.
