We will not share, sell, distribute or rent your information – including but not limited to your e-mail address – to anyone.</p><h4>Links to other sites</h4><p>Some WHO/Europe web subsites provide links to other Internet sites that provide health information. Once you link to another site, you are subject to the privacy statement of the new site. WHO/Europe does not endorse the sites to which it links.</p><h4>Security</h4><p>WHO/Europe maintains this site and employs a range of technology to protect the information maintained on its systems from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration or destruction.</p><h4>How to contact us</h4><p>If you have any questions or concerns about the WHO/Europe privacy statement, please contact us at <a href="mailto:euwebcomments@who.int">euwebcomments@who.int</a>.</p><h4>Notification of changes</h4><p>If there are any changes to this privacy policy, we will post them on our home page, so that you are completely aware of how the changes will affect you.</p><h4>Glossary</h4><p><strong>Cookie</strong><br />A cookie is a small amount of data (which often includes an anonymous unique identifier) that is sent to your browser from a web site's computers and stored on your computer's hard drive. Each web site can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a web site to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Once the user has closed the browser, the cookie will no longer be accessed during that session.</p><p>Many sites do this whenever a user visits, to track online traffic flows.</p><p>Cookies record information about your online preferences. Users can set their computers to accept all cookies, to notify them when a cookie is issued, or not to receive cookies at any time. You can still use the WHO/Europe web site to its fullest advantage even if your browser's preference is set to reject cookies.</p><p><strong>Internet protocol address</strong></p><p><strong></strong>When your web browser or e-mail application requests a web page or e-mail from another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address to which it should send the information. This is called your computer's Internet protocol (IP) address. IP address information helps us to gauge the geographical distribution of our visitors. It does not provide any personal information about the owner of the address.</p><p> </p></div> </div> </div> <div id="PageContent_C002_Col02" class="sf_colsIn col-md-1" data-sf-element="Column 3" data-placeholder-label="Column 3"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <!-- footer:on --> <!--noindex--><!--stopindex--> <footer id="sf-footer"> <div class="main-footer"> <div id="Footer_TD9F2A204001_Col00" class="sf_colsIn container" data-sf-element="Container" data-placeholder-label="Container"><div class="row" data-sf-element="Row"> <div id="Footer_T75121FDA153_Col00" class="sf_colsIn col-md-9" data-sf-element="Column 1" data-placeholder-label="Column 1"> <div class="main-navigation--wrapper" id="e27c539cbb4b4e27aa6824c967ae0b58" role="navigation"> <ul class="main-navigation navVertical"> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/quick-links" target="_self">Quick links</a> <ul class="sub-level"> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/quick-links/newsroom" target="_self">Newsroom</a> </li> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/quick-links/emergencies" target="_self">Emergencies</a> </li> </ul> </li> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/about-us" target="_self">About us</a> <ul class="sub-level"> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/about-us/european-programme-of-work" target="_self">European Programme of Work</a> </li> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/about-us/publications" target="_self">Publications</a> </li> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/about-us/campaigns" target="_self">Campaigns</a> </li> </ul> </li> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/help" target="_self">Help</a> <ul class="sub-level"> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/help/contact-us" target="_self">Contact us</a> </li> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/help/careers" target="_blank">Careers</a> </li> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/help/email-scams" target="_blank">Cyber Security</a> </li> <li class=""> <a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/help/privacy" target="_self">Privacy</a> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="Footer_T75121FDA153_Col01" class="sf_colsIn col-sm-3 col-md-3 centered-on-mobile" data-sf-element="Column 2" data-placeholder-label="Column 2"> <div class="sf-content-block content-block" > <div ><div class="button button-dark-background" style="text-align:center;"><a href="/europe/news-room/newsletters/subscribe-to-who-europe-newsletters">Subscribe to our newsletters</a></div></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row" data-sf-element="Row"> <div id="Footer_T75121FDA199_Col00" class="sf_colsIn col-md-12" data-sf-element="Column 1" data-placeholder-label="Column 1"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sf-footer-logo-container"> <div class="sf-footer-logo"> <div class=""> <a href="https://www.who.int/"> <img src="/images/default-source/fallback/header-logos/h-logo-blue.svg?sfvrsn=aaed4f35_20" class="svg" alt="World Health Organization" /> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-logo"> <a href="/europe" title="Home"> <img src="/ResourcePackages/WHO/assets/dist/images/logos/en/h-logo-white.svg" alt="Home" class="logo" /> </a> </div> </div> <div class="bottom-footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-4"> <div class="sf-content-block content-block" > <div ><a href="/europe/redirect-pages/footer/help/privacy">Privacy Legal Notice</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-4"> <div class="sf-content-block content-block socialmedia-icons" > <div ><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/WHORegionalOfficeforEurope" title="Follow WHO on Youtube" target="_blank"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewbox="0 0 576 512"><!--!
