What are "cookies"?
A "cookie" is a small text file placed on your computer by a website. A cookie is not a secret way to find out things about you or what is on your computers hard drive. The only way that private information could end up in a cookie would be if you offered the information to the website and the website decided to then add it to a cookie (which would serve no purpose). One common use of cookies is simply to identify whether you have previously visited a website.

Does our Site use "cookies"?
Yes, our Site uses a "cookie" to help track statistics such as the percentage of Visitors that have previously viewed the Site. 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 type of browser you used to visit our site (such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox), the time at which you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.

Are "cookies" used by our partner sites?
Many of our partner sites use "cookies" and to help track sales. This poses no risk to you or your private information. If you are interested in the use of cookies by one of the sites to which we link you should be able to find this information directly on their website or it should be provided to you at your request. We recognize that the privacy of your personal information is important. This article will inform you about the various types of personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit our site, and how we safeguard your information. We never sell or otherwise your personal information to third parties.

Use of Web Beacons
We also use third party advertising services to display advertisements, such as Google through the Google AdSense program. Some or all of those advertising services may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will send these advertisers information about your visit 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. Geo-targeting is sometimes used for the purposes of matching advertisements with visitors based on certain attributes that visitor has. An example of this type of geo-targeting would be showing Idaho movie theatre ads to someone located in Idaho, 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 service, 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 Miami, you may see Miami 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 may 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.
 

Who else may have access to PII from Visitors?
We will disclose PII in order to comply with a court order or subpoena or a request from a law enforcement agency to release information. 

What happens if the Privacy Policy Changes?
We will let our Visitors know about changes to our privacy policy by posting such changes on the Site.
