Privacy
Drewslair.com and it's administrator(s) recognize that the privacy of your personal information is important. The following sections detail what types of information we receive and collect when you use and visit Drewslair.com, and how your information is protected.
Privileged and Ethical Use of Information
Unless explicitly stated, Drewslair.com does not collect personally identifying information on its visitors more specific than the IP (internet protocol) address of the machine being used to access the site. Information that is collected will not be sold to third parties or used for the purpose of unsolicited advertisements.
Log Files
Like most other websites, Drewslair.com collects and uses the data contained in log files which record visits to the site and what content is accessed. 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. This information is used solely to monitor site traffic, gauge the effectiveness of content and monitor the site for downtime and other technical problems.
Cookies and Web Beacons
Drewslair.com might 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 site features, such as forums.
Drewslair.com also uses third party advertisements to financially support the site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on Drewslair.com, 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 the site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geo-targeting 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
Drewslair.com might also use DART cookies for serving ads 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.
