NOTE: if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or change computers/eb browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out procedure again.

Do Not Track requests

Do Not Track is a technology that provides users with a simple and persistent choice to opt out of tracking by websites and platforms they visit, including analytics services, advertising networks, and social platforms. Our Web Analytics tool respects users right to restrict data processing and recognizes the Do Not Track browser settings.

Links

The Town of Danville website uses link and search capabilities to navigate publicly available information from dozens of agencies that are not part of the Town website and over whom the Town exercises no control.

The privacy policies and procedures described here do not necessarily apply to those sites.

We suggest contacting these sites directly for information on their data collection and distribution policies.

Site security

We monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or to otherwise cause damage to the site. Anyone using this website expressly consents to such monitoring.

We take appropriate security measures to protect unauthorized access, alteration or destruction of data.
