This review is based on a specific statement misinterpreted and taken out of context. Reading the entire privacy policy makes it clear that the statement "personal information cannot be collected via cookies" refers to the fact that, by itself, a cookie cannot be used to gather personal information and simply visiting a website that uses cookies does not pose a risk. Instead, cookies can be used to store personal information that has been willingly provided by the visitor.
This was deemed a necessary addition to the privacy policy as many users do not have an accurate understanding of how cookies work and may be under the impression that cookies can be used to gather personal information about them without their consent. There was no intent to deceive or mislead, and the statement was not born in ignorance.
For further clarification, the statement has now been amended to read "personal information cannot be gathered via cookies".
