Throughout the URL unshortening and expansion processes, we securely retain the website URLs in our database. It's important to note that only the URLs themselves are stored, and no other information is preserved in our database.
Similar to most other websites, we gather and utilize data contained in log files. These logs may include your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to access our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the timestamp of your visit, and the specific pages you explored on our site.
We use cookies to store information, including your personal preferences, as you navigate our website. This functionality allows us, for instance, to display a popup only once during your visit or enable you to log in to certain features like forums.
Furthermore, URLExpander.me displays third-party advertisements to support our site. Some of these advertisers may employ technologies such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our platform. These technologies enable them, including entities like Google through the Google AdSense program, to access information such as your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to access our site, and occasionally, whether Flash is installed on your device. Typically, this information is used for geotargeting purposes, such as displaying New York real estate ads to users in New York, or showing ads tailored to specific interests based on your browsing history.
You have the option to disable or selectively manage our cookies and third-party cookies through your browser settings or by configuring preferences in programs like Norton Internet Security.
