What information do we collect?
Information is collected in two ways: (1) indirectly (for example, through our website technology); and (2) directly (for example, when you provide information on various pages of the website or when you return coupons published in magazines).
One example of information we indirectly collect is Internet access logs. When you access the Site, your numeric IP address is automatically collected and placed in our Internet access logs.
We collect information directly from you in a number of ways, one of which is through the use of cookies. We use cookies to remember you when you visit this Site, to track your browsing habits, and to build a profile of how you and other users use the Site. A cookie is a small piece of information that a web server sends to a web browser that enables the web server to collect information from your browser.
Third-party advertising cookies
Most of the ads you see on the website are generated by third parties. Some of these third parties generate their own cookies to track how many people have seen a particular ad (or use third-party services to do so) and to track how many people have seen it more than once. These cookies cannot be used to identify an individual; they can only be used for statistical purposes, such as to provide you with ads that are more relevant to your interests. Some of the information obtained from third-party cookies will be aggregated with other anonymous information for statistical purposes.
The third-party companies that generate these cookies have their own, very strict privacy policies, but we do not have access to these cookies; other than allowing them to be served, we have no role in these cookies (although we may use the statistical information obtained from these third-party cookies and provided to us by third parties to improve the targeting of ads to users of the website).
Use of your information
We invest in high-quality security and do everything we can to protect users' privacy. No data transmission over the Internet can be completely secure, and therefore we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information and/or your use of the website. Any information you transmit is at your own risk and may be read by others. However, once we have received your personal information, we use strict procedures to protect the security of your personal information.
