Automatically Collected Information

MaliVest may collect information about your computer or mobile device. We may gather data such as your browser type, operating system, loading or exiting of web pages, and the IP address of your computer or device. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the MaliVest website.

MaliVest may contract with third parties to place advertisements for our products and services on websites that are not our own. We place these ads where we think they are likely to be most relevant. These advertisements on third-party websites allow us to track responses to our ads. We and our affiliates use this information to track the performance of our advertising and marketing campaigns by using tools like cookies, web beacons and similar technologies. We use these tools to collect and store information about your visits, page visits and duration, and the specific ad or link that the user clicked on to visit the site.

Use of Cookies

The MaliVest website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize MaliVest pages, or register with MaliVest site or services, a cookie helps MaliVest to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information. When you return to the same MaliVest website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the MaliVest features that you customized.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the MaliVest services or websites you visit.
