Privacy Policy for http://www.geekylists.com
The privacy of our visitors to http://www.geekylists.com is important to us.
At http://www.geekylists.com, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is
important. Here is information on what types of personal information we
receive and collect when you use and visit http://www.geekylists.com, and how we safeguard
your information. We never sell your personal information to third
parties.
Log Files
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 browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet
Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you
visited throughout our site.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal
preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing
you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our
features, such as forums.
We also use third party advertisements on http://www.geekylists.com to support our site.
Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web
beacons when they advertise on our 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
to visit our site, 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
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.
