Privacy Policy

County of Hudson does not gather personal information. But because we measure site activity about our site visitors we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that information.

Information the County of Hudson gathers and tracks
County of Hudson gathers two types of information about users: 1) Data that users provide through optional, voluntary registration on several of our pages, and 2) aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Such information enables us to better tailor our content to visitors needs and help the webmaster better understand the demographics of our audience.

Questions regarding this statement should be directed to

Usage tracking
County of Hudson tracks user traffic patterns throughout hudsoncountynj.org and this information is correlated with data about individual users. Overall usage statistics, according to a user's domain name, browser type and MIME type gotten by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every user's browser), are also broken down.

Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain Web sites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such including a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. But the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. A cookie can't read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.

If you've set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie.

Use of the information
County of Hudson uses any information voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our users.

As stated above, County of Hudson uses information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and enable users to participate in polls and message boards. We send out newsletters to subscribers on a regular schedule (daily or weekly, depending on the newsletter) and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in something we are doing. County of Hudson never shares newsletter mailing lists with any third parties.

We use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those areas. County of Hudson does not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

We track search terms entered in our search function as one of many measures of what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.

County of Hudson uses the above-described information to tailor our content to suit your needs and help our advertisers better understand our audience demographics. We do not share information about individual users with any third party.
