used to fulfill your specific request, unless you give us permission to use it
in another manner, for example, to add you to one of our mailing lists.
Cookie/Tracking Technology
Our site may use cookies and tracking technology which are useful for gathering
information such as browser type and operating system, tracking the number of
visitors to the site, and understanding how visitors use the Site. Personal
information cannot be collected via cookies and other tracking technology,
however, if you previously provided personally identifiable information, cookies
may be tied to such information. Third parties such as our advertisers may also
use cookies to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites
on the internet. If you want to opt out of our third-party advertiser (Google
Adsense)’s use of cookies, please visit the Google ad and content network

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.
Distribution of Information
We do not share your personally identifiable information to any third party for
marketing purposes. However, we may share information with governmental agencies
or other companies assisting us in fraud prevention or investigation. We may do
so when: (1) permitted or required by law; or, (2) trying to protect against or
prevent actual or potential fraud or unauthorized transactions; or, (3)
investigating fraud which has already taken place.
