Anonymous Data Collected through this Website
In addition to the information we collect as described above, we use technology that automatically collects anonymous information about the use of our Website. For example, our web server automatically logs which pages of our Website our visitors view, their IP addresses and which web browsers our visitors use. This technology does not identify you personally; it only enables us to compile statistics about our visitors and their use of our website, which we may use, for example, to improve our website. Our Website contains hyperlinks to other pages on our website. We may use technology to track how often these links are used and which pages on our website our visitors choose to view. As stated above, this technology does not identify you personally – it simply enables us to compile statistics about the use of these hyperlinks.

You may voluntarily participate in a survey or other tool available on this website. The Love Mandala compiles data collected from its online surveys and tools to produce benchmark reports for respondents, The Love Mandala Clients, and other third parties.

Cookies To collect the anonymous data described in the prior paragraph, we may use “cookies” that remain in the cookies file of your browser until the browser is closed. A cookie is a small piece of information which is sent to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not. However, some services and features offered through this website may not function properly if your cookies are disabled. We use cookies to improve the quality of our website by storing user preferences and monitoring user trends, as well as to deliver services requested by you.

Authentication and authorization cookies (i.e., strictly necessary cookies) allow access to secure areas and specific functionality of the website. These are strictly necessary for the proper operation of our website and the service we provide to you.
Personalization cookies (i.e. functionality cookies) allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced features or may be used to provide services in the way you have specified, such as collating data in a report.
Tracking cookies (i.e. performance cookies) collect information about how you use our website; what pages you visit and how often. We use this information to improve our website and the services we provide to you.
