Information collected by this website
Our page is built in WordPress and hosted by Bluehost. We use Vimeo for video hosting and track site data with Google Analytics. Each of these services retains its own privacy policy.
In order to improve the content and usability of this website, nycdigitalsafety.org automatically collects several categories of information from users. By nature of our use of Google Analytics, this information includes the following:
- The HTTP request of the user
- Browser/system information
- First-party cookies (see below)
The HTTP request for any web page contains details about the browser and the computer making the request, such as the IP address, the browser type, referrer, and language.
Who we share your data with
METRO Library Council will never knowingly share user data with individuals outside of our immediate NYC Digital Safety project partners.
Please see the following privacy policies for the vendors whose services we use to produce this site:
Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a ‘session cookie’) or for multiple repeat visits (using a ‘persistent cookie’).
Cookies ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors. They perform essential functions. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as ‘first party cookies’), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (‘third party cookies’).
Embedded content from other websites
Embedded content from other websites, i.e. videos hosted on Vimeo, behaves in the same way as if the visitor has visited the website hosting the content. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics to understand how users are engaging with the site. Google analytics collects:
- The HTTP request of the user

- First-party cookies
When all this information is collected, it is sent to the Analytics servers. More information about this process can be found here. You may opt out of Google Analytics cookies altogether by linking to this Google Analytics Opt-Out Add-on.
