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 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

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

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.
