Advertisements
At our website, 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 our
website, 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 browser you used to visit our site (such
as Internet Explorer or Firefox), 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 our website 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 visiting http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx
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. |
