Website Usage Information
While you use our website, your visits to individual pages will be tracked and recorded in web server log files, although no personally identifiable information will be saved along with the information about visited pages. Log files will be used by MDPI for statistical purposes to recognize patterns of usage of the website and to improve website structure and content presentation. Log files will not be handed out to third parties. The usage information we collect (using HTTP cookies) includes referring to URLs, browser and device characteristics, IP addresses, operating systems, and dates and times of website visits. MDPI may offer data via third-party services on the site, such as article recommendations, social logins, social sharing, and banners to third-party sites. Information that is collected by MDPI when you access third-party services is processed under a privacy statement, while information collected by third-party operators themselves will be governed by their own privacy statement.

MDPI will not sell or make this personal information available to any other (third) party without your explicit consent. MDPI may use this information internally, including to evaluate and improve our business; respond to any questions, requests or comments you make; or to identify and prevent fraud, claims, or other liabilities.
