Privacy policy

The publisher, Konekton, is responsible for the information described here and can be reached at contact@konekton.net. Konekton has no accounts, registration forms, comments or newsletters, and asks for no personal details to read its guides. If you use the search box, the words you enter are sent to the server to find matching pages. What follows explains what the website handles, link by link.

When you open a page

Like every website, Konekton’s server receives the technical information your browser sends with each request: your IP address, the type of browser and device, the address of the page you asked for and the page you came from. The server uses it to deliver the page and keep the website working.

Advertising

Pages can show ads in frames supplied by the advertising service the website uses. To show them, your browser loads the ads directly from that service, which receives the information browsers send with any request.

When a page opens, the website also tells the advertising service which page and language you are reading, the parameters in the page’s address (for example the campaign number and the click identifier added when you arrive from an ad), the domain of the website you came from and how the page is displayed in your browser. The service uses these details to decide whether a page opens a related website and how it opens it. It does not count ad views or keep a record of visits. When another website opens, its address carries the advertising campaign’s details and any Google click identifier, so that the campaign can be measured there. The service does not keep the parameters it reads.

To tell real visits from automated traffic, some ad frames and pages run a check by Adscore, a traffic-quality service, which reads technical signals from your browser. The check can also run on a page without ad frames and can determine whether a related website opens. It runs whatever your measurement choice.

Advertising measurement, with your consent

The website uses Google’s tag to measure its advertising. Until you answer, and whenever you do not consent, the tag runs with consent denied: it does not set or read cookies for advertising or analytics. If you consent, it may use cookies and similar technologies to measure which ads led to visits and actions on the website. The banner shown on your first visit asks for your answer, and you can change it at any time on the cookies page.

Your answer itself is stored in your browser, in a cookie named konekton_snap and a copy in your browser’s local storage, so the website remembers it. Both hold only whether you consented or not. The cookie lasts one year; Konekton sets no expiry for the local copy, which stays until your answer changes or that data is cleared.

When you email us

If you write to contact@konekton.net, your address and your message are used only to read and answer it, and to make any correction you point out. They are not added to a list, shared or used for advertising.

Your choices

• Give or change your answer about advertising measurement on the cookies page.
• Delete Konekton’s cookie and local storage in your browser’s settings; the banner will then ask again.
• Write to contact@konekton.net with any question about this page or about information that concerns you.

This page describes the website as it works today. When something changes, the page is updated and its updated date changes with it.
