When you visit our site, we capture your Internet provider’s domain name (e.g., ‘aol.com’). We also capture the country from where the visit came, and the paths taken as you move from page to page (i.e., your “click stream” activity).
Information we collect on our site may be used to enhance this site in ways like these:
- Arrange the Web site in the most user-friendly way
- Customize your browsing experience of this Web site
- Communicate special offers and featured items to you, if you choose to receive such notices
- Respond to your question or suggestions
We only collect personal information that you choose to provide voluntarily when using or registering with our site. “Personal information” includes information that can identify you, such as:
- Name, address, phone number, email address, or company name
- Log-in information
- Social Security number or Federal Identification number
- Credit card information
- IP address (Note: For users who access the Internet from an Internet Service Provider (ISP), the IP address will be different every time you log on. We do not typically associate this information with any individual.)
While you can browse our site without providing personal information, you will need to input certain personal information as indicated on specific pages of our site in order to take advantage of certain features, such as requesting updates on promotional offers, participating in special programs, or making purchases.
We may also on occasion ask you to voluntarily submit information about other people. For example, you might be asked for the name and email address of people you know so we can inform them about a promotion or program offered on our site.
Browsing and the use of cookies, Web beacons, and logs
We may use cookie technology as part of our Web site’s statistical reporting. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a Web site that is saved on your hard disk by your computer’s browser. It holds information a site may need to personalize your experience (such as, rotating images on the home page of our site). Cookies are also used to gather Web site statistical data, such as which pages are visited, what is downloaded, the Internet provider’s domain name and country of origin, and the addresses of sites visited immediately before, and after, coming to our site.
None of this, however, is associated with you as an individual, unless you have selected to opt-in to participate in an email program. An email program consists of you voluntarily registering your email address at our site to receive periodic emails from us. The information is measured anonymously and only in aggregate. Information from cookies lets us trace your “click stream” activity (meaning, the paths taken by visitors to our site as they move from page to page). Cookies do not capture your individual email address or any private information about you.
If you prefer, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is set. (Each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie and privacy preferences.)
A Web beacon is an electronic image, also called a single-pixel or clear GIF, placed in the code of a Web page. Our site may use Web beacons to track traffic patterns of users as they navigate from one page to another. This information lets us tune and improve our users browsing experience. As with cookies, the information that Web beacons collect is aggregated, anonymous click stream data, and is not associated with you as an individual, unless you have selected to opt-in to participate in an email program.
DoubleClick Web beacons may also used on some promotional microsites. DoubleClick offers a way for you to choose not to accept persistent cookies associated with these beacons. For more information, please visit the DoubleClick site.
We also use standard Web server log files to help us count visitors and evaluate our site’s technical capacity. This information tells us how many people visit our site, and helps us decide how to arrange pages in the most user-friendly way. It also helps us keep the site browser-friendly and more useful to our visitors. We record information on site traffic, but not on individual visitors to our site, so no personal information about you will be kept or used, unless you have selected to opt-in to participate in an email program.
Promotions and surveys
From time to time, we may conduct promotions and surveys through our Web site.
