Contentful makes use of cookies to provide its Users with a customised product/service through identifying unique visitors and their respective usage patterns. Cookies are identifiers placed on a User’s hard drive by the server and allow Contentful to streamline its products to better suit Users’ needs.

Demographic and traffic data may be collected by third parties on our website. Third parties may also use cookies, for which we have neither access nor control.

The combination of this data could inadvertently lead to the identification of individual Users. User data may from time to time be collected and analysed for statistical purposes, though in this case no individual’s data will be identified. If the User has agreed to provide their information to third parties with the ultimate goal of receiving personalised products and services, then Contentful may provide said third parties with the relevant data. In this case, we rely on technical and organisational means to assure that applicable data security regulations are followed.

All information, whether on data processors on Contentful’ premises or on servers acting on Contentful’ behalf, remains in complete control of Contentful at all times. Servers may be located in jurisdictions where data protection laws differ from those in the User’s jurisdiction.

Contentful uses Google's retargeting, which means we can advertise Contentful on our partners’ websites, meaning our adverts, even on other companies’ sites, are relevant to what you would like to see. We do this by analyzing user behavior from data collected by cookies. This information is anonymous, with no personal information being stored and no user profiles. You can view Google's advertising policies and principles at http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

At Contentful we collect aggregate traffic statistics, internet protocol addresses, browser types, and internet service providers (ISP) using log files. Traffic statistics include, but are not limited to: referring/exit pages, date/time stamp, clicking patterns and click through rates. These data are used to streamline the User experience, improve the products and services provided to Users on the Contentful Website.
