Internet cookies
We do not directly use cookies on this website. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device / computer hard drive and helps determine how you use a website.
However, adverts are displayed (see below) and Google Analytics is deployed to provide anonymous basic usage statics which, for the website, may store cookies to achieve this. Although not visible to us in Google Analytics reports, Google does capture user’s IP addresses before aggregating them into geolocation reports. To protect your personal information IP address anonymisation has been configured before IP data is sent to Google. Within OGCS, Google Analytics is used to help focus development of OGCS in areas that more significant impact by understanding which versions of OGCS and Outlook are in use, number of syncs performed and so forth. An option is available within OGCS to disable all telemetry.
Error Reporting
At the discretion of users, any errors generated by OGCS can be automatically submitted to us for analysis. This is achieved by sending the 50 lines of logging preceeding the error to Google Stackdriver. Reports are anonymised, though some logging lines may include personal information; users are informed of this before enabling automatic reporting and can opt-out at any time.
