The data we collect on our website is very different from the data we collect as part of our research studies, so the processes for handling each type of data are also different. This page provides information on the data collected in relation to our website. If you would like to learn more about how we protect the privacy of people who participate in our research, please visit our Ethics page.
Knology’s website uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is being used — which pages people read, how they found us, and roughly where in the world they are. It does this by storing a cookie in your browser and giving that browser a randomly generated identifier. We do not use it to collect your name, your email address, or anything else that identifies you personally, and Google uses your IP address only to estimate your general location and does not store it. If you would rather not be counted, you can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on, or block analytics cookies in your browser’s settings.
