Privacy Policy for Where Everyone Knows...It's Wendy
The privacy of my visitors is important to me. I understand that privacy of your personal information is essential. Here is information on what types of personal information is received and collected when you visit and use Where Everyone Knows...It's Wendy and how your information is safeguarded. Your personal information is never sold or distributed to third parties.
Log Files
As with most other websites, this site also collects and uses the data contained in log files. The information in the log files includes your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit this site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited the site, and which pages you visited throughout the site.
Cookies and Web Beacons
Cookies are used to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit this site. This could include only showing you a popup once during your visit or the ability to access some other features such as polls and links.
Third party advertisements are also used here at Where Everyone Knows It's...Wendy to support the site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on this 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, 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
DART cookies also might be used 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 might 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 this site's cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security, etc. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with this 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 after visiting this or other sites 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.
If you have any questions or concerns about this site's privacy policy, please do not hesitate to comment below or contact me through my email icon in the sidebar.
[This policy has been updated and is valid as of April 2014.]
