The privacy of our visitors to the SITE is important to us.
At SITE, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is important.
Here is information on what types of personal information we receive and
collect when you use and visit SITE, and how we safeguard your information.
We never sell your personal information to third parties.
Log Files
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log
files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol)
address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the
the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the
the time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences
when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in
your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.
We also use third party advertisements on SITE to support our site. Some of
these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons
when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such
as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your
IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some
cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for
geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in
New York, for example,) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited
(such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).
DoubleClick DART cookies
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick,
which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and
visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense
advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your
interests (”interest based targeting”).
The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For
example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see
Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a
site about hockey). DART uses “non personally identifiable information”. It
does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email
address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank
account numbers or credit card numbers.
You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by
visitinghttp://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx
Ads appearing on our site may be delivered to Users by advertising partners,
who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your
computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile non-personal identification information about you or others who use your
computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things,
deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to
you. This privacy policy does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Google Adsense
Some of the ads may be served by Google. Google’s use of the DART cookie
enables it to serve ads to Users based on their visit to our Site and other sites
on the Internet. DART uses “non personally identifiable information” and
does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email
address, physical address, etc. You may opt-out of the use of the DART cookie
by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy
athttp://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html
You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party
cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs
such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able
to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the
inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or
accounts.
Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any
advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next
time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
