2. The Types of Information That OVG Collects About You and How OVG Collects Information About You
OVG may collect two types of information from you when you visit the Site: Personal Information and Non-Personal Information (collectively “Information”).

- “Non-Personal Information” means data that is about you, but does not identify you specifically. If you do nothing during your visit to our Site but browse, read pages, or view content, we will gather and store Information about your visit that does not identify you personally.
We collect Information:
- Directly from you when you provide it to us.
- Through our communications with you.

- Through Google Analytics.
Information You Provide Directly to OVG. The Information that you provide us directly through our Site may include:
- Information that you provide when you create an account on our Site or subscribe to our mailing list.

Information Automatically Collected from You. The Information that OVG may automatically collect and store about you when you visit the Site may include:

When accessing a cookie, the OVG server reads a number associated with a browser, but is unable to determine any data about a user. With that number, our web server can tailor its content to the needs of the specific browser, and we can optimize the Site for your use.
Google Analytics Advertising Features. We also may have the following Google Analytics Advertising Features Implemented: Demographics and Interest reporting, Remarketing, GDN Impression Reporting and Double Click Campaign Manager. These features collect data using Google advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers. OVG and third-party vendors use these first-party cookies to access the success of online marketing campaigns, inform future campaigns and improve usability on the Site. To learn how to opt-out of the Google Analytics Advertising Features we use, please see Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs for the web at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
