Advertising Partners

Some of the advertisers on the site may use cookies and web beacons. Each advertising partner has their own Privacy Policy for their policies on user data. We do not have control over cookies placed by advertisers.  We may use advertising service vendors to help present advertisements on the website. These vendors may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to serve you advertisements tailored to interests you have shown by browsing on this and other sites you have visited, to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before and to avoid sending you duplicate advertisements. In doing so, these vendors may collect non-personal data such as your browser type, your operating system, Web pages visited, time of visits, content viewed, ads viewed, and other clickstream data. The use of cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies by these advertising service vendors is subject to their own privacy policies, not ours, and the Service Provider disclaims all liability in connection therewith.
