Cookies
and Web Beacons
We do use third party advertisements on
ExperienceClovis.com to support our online
community magazine. 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).
You can chose
to disable or selectively turn off third-party
cookies in your browser settings, or by managing
preferences in programs such as Norton Internet

The
DoubleClick DART cookie is used by Google in the
ads served on the websites of its partners, such
as websites displaying AdSense ads or
participating in Google certified ad networks.
When users visit a partner's website and either
view or click on an ad, a cookie may be dropped
on that end user's browser. The data gathered
from these cookies will be used to help Google
to better serve and manage ads on the
publisher's site(s) and across the web.
Some Google
AdSense ads are based primarily on your search
queries or on the content of the page you’re
viewing. When providing ads tailored to your
interests, Google AdSense offers useful tools
for you to view and manage the information that
is being collected and used to serve ads. To
protect your privacy, Google AdSense follows
three principles when serving ads:
-
Transparency – Google AdSense provides
detailed information about its advertising
policies and practices.
-
Choice
– Google AdSense offers innovative ways to
view, manage and opt out of advertising
cookies.
-
No
personally identifying information –
Google AdSense does not collect or serve ads
based on personally identifying information
without your permission.
Users may opt out of the
use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google
advertising opt-out page.

]. This page also provides additional
information on Google's Advertising and Privacy
Policy.

but not all, cookies in one location at the
