Virtualization Advisors deems privacy a central issue of Internet use. Virtualization Advisors attempts to have reasonable measures in place to assure the anonymity of visitors to the Virtualization Advisors web site. Virtualization Advisors feels as part of responsible disclosure that Virtualization Advisors web site users are aware of what information is being logged.
To maintain and improve site quality and integrity, IP addresses are logged (the Internet Protocol addresses of computers). This log is a standard method of reporting to statistically find out which parts of our web site are visited and how long visitors spend there. We also log the type of browser and operating system you are using. We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information.
Like many other commercial web sites, the Virtualization Advisors web site may use a standard technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how you use the site. Cookies were originally designed to help a web site distinguish a user's browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie is a small string of text that a web site can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your e-mail address. Currently, web sites use cookies to enhance the user's visit; in general, cookies can securely store a user's ID and password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited or keep track of selections in a "shopping cart." It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being placed - this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie.
At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, such as your e-mail address, for purposes such as corresponding with us, registering at a site, making a purchase, entering a sweepstakes, registering a new product, or participating in an online survey.
Information Use
When you supply Virtualization Advisors with your personal information, we may use the information to learn more about you so that we can develop better products and services or use the information, sharing it with our business partners, to inform you about new products, services and offers that may be of interest to you.

The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is not covered by the Virtualization Advisors Privacy Statement. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any company before submitting your personal information.
