Cookies
Wysebridge uses cookies on its website. Cookies are small text files that are placed on the browsers of visitors to our website for record-keeping purposes and so that (for example) your preferences can be recognized when you come back to our site. Those cookies include both temporary or session cookies that are deleted when you close your browser, and permanent cookies which remain on your device.
Wysebridge participates in advertising programs operated by third parties, for which advertising and retargeting cookies are used. Advertising cookies allow us to make advertising more relevant for visitors to our site, by showing adverts that users might be interested in seeing (based on other sites they have visited and previous browsing history) and avoiding showing adverts that they have already seen.
Retargeting cookies allow Wysebridge to advertise to visitors to our website via third party websites. Those third party websites show their visitors advertisements for Wysebridge’s services based on cookies which tell the third party website that the visitor has previously visited Wysebridge’s website.
The cookies we use also mean that data relating to traffic on our website and about the types of third party websites that visitors to our website also visit are aggregated and shared with other participants in the third party advertising programm. The data that is shared does not contain any personal information and cannot be used to identify any individual visitor.
You can opt out of receiving cookies by adjusting the settings in your web browser. To find out how to do that, and to learn more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
Third-party websites
The Wysebridge website may provide you with links to other websites although we do not necessarily advise that you are linking to another website. In the event that you choose to access such websites, Wysebridge is not responsible for any actions or policies of those sites. Further, please note that the third party’s privacy policy and security practices may differ from Wysebridge standards. Wysebridge neither assumes responsibility for, nor does it control, endorse or guarantee any aspect of your use of the linked site. We recommend that you check the privacy policy of such a party before providing personally identifiable information to it.
Website security
Wysebridge uses website security measures consistent with current best practices to protect its website, email and mailing lists. These measures include technical, procedural, monitoring and tracking steps intended to safeguard data from misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, alteration or destruction.
We realize there can be incidents of misuse or unauthorized program incursions, as almost every website, service and user encounters. In those instances, our goals are to move quickly to isolate the problem, ensure or restore proper functionality and minimize any inconvenience to our users. As appropriate and necessary, WYSEBRIDGE will notify the relevant authorities of these incidents of misuse or unauthorized program incursions of the WYSEBRIDGE website.
Please email any problems to our support staff. While we may not be able to respond to every report, we take each report seriously and will investigate it thoroughly.
