Anonymously Collected Information

When you access our websites, we automatically collect your computer or device’s internet protocol (IP) address and other technical information about your computer or device and website usage, such as your browser type and version, time zone setting, and operating system and platform. This information does not contain your personal information, such as name, exact location, contact information etc.Please see the “Cookies and Other Tracking” section below.

Information Collected From Our Advertisers

We utilize 3rd Party resources to deliver ads of interest to our viewers. Please refer to these companies for privacy policies related to their advertisements and websites.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies That we Use

We and our service providers use cookies, embedded scripts and local shared objects in connection with our websites. This is standard, and necessary to deliver functionality to your browser.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or device when you visit our websites. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser, but we do not attempt to gather your personal information, nor do our cookies collect other information from your computer.

The use of cookies is a standard practice among websites to collect information about visitors’ activities while using the website.

Embedded videos or Flash objects are pieces of data that websites which use Adobe Flash may store on a user’s computer or device. Third parties with whom we partner to provide certain features on our websites or to display advertising based upon your web browsing activity use local shared objects. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing local shared objects. In addition, you may manage Flash cookies by clicking here.

The above technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the Websites, services and products, tracking users’ movements anonymously (without your name, actual location or identification) around the Websites and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.

Our website uses cookies to remember users’ settings. Third parties may use cookies to provide appropriate ads or announcements. We have no control over these, but only use legitimate sources for ad delivery (i.e, Google.) To manage the cookies that are placed on your computer, you may configure your internet browser to refuse, accept or delete cookies from our Websites at any time. Some of the cookies we use may be more persistent in nature. These persistent cookies may not be deleted when other cookies are deleted. Please check your browser and browser settings to determine where these types of cookies are stored and whether and how they may be deleted. The help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable most cookies altogether. Please note that if cookies are disabled or removed, not all features of our Websites will operate as intended.

"Do Not Track" Technology

Some newer web browsers have a "Do Not Track" preference that transmits a "Do Not Track" header to the websites you visit with information indicating that you do not want your activity to be tracked. We currently do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals (as you would be unable to remain logged into our website and use services that are specific to your account.)

Third-Party Advertising Services

We partner with third parties that may use technologies such as cookies (and local stored objects as described above) to gather information about your activities on the websites and elsewhere on the Internet in order to provide you with relevant advertising based upon your browsing activities and interests. This type of advertising is sometimes called interest-based advertising. No personally-identifiable information is collected or used in this process. If you wish to not have this information collected and used for interest-based advertising, you may opt-out by clicking here for partners that participate in the TRUSTe opt-out tool (or if located in the European Union click here ). If you wish to opt-out from this type of advertising for companies that participate in the Network Advertising Initiative, please click here. If you wish to opt-out from this type of advertising for companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”), please click here. Please note that this does not opt you out of being served ads. You will continue to receive generic ads.

Third-Party Analytics

We may also use service providers, such as Google Analytics, that may use cookies or other technologies to collect information about your online activities across this and other websites over time for non-advertising purposes such as those described above. To learn more about how Google Analytics collects and processes data and the choices Google may offer to control these activities, you may visit http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/partners/.

Google has implemented the following Google Advertising Features: Remarketing, Impression Reporting, and Demographics and Interest Reporting. We use Google Analytics cookies but do not share your information with Google proactively. You can opt out of the Google Analytics Advertising Features we use by indicating your preference using the interest-based opt-out link here . Google also provides a complete privacy policy, and instructions on opting out of Google Analytics here . Note that Google’s opt-out mechanism is specific to Google activities and does not affect the activities of other ad networks or analytics providers that we may use.
