Here at the Ricky Craven Fan Club Archive, the privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us. This privacy policy document outlines: how and what types of personal information is received and collected by the Ricky Craven Fan Club Archive, how it is used, and how we safeguard your information.
Use of Log Files
Like many other Web sites, the Ricky Craven Fan Club Archive makes use of log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement around the site, and gather demographic information. IP addresses and other such information are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.
Use of 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.
We also use third party advertising services to display advertisements on the Ricky Craven Fan Club Archive, such as Google through the Google AdSense program. Some or all of those advertising services may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will send these advertisers information about your visit, 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 geo-targeting, which is sometimes used for the purposes of matching advertisements with visitors based on certain attributes that visitor has. An example of this type of geo-targeting would be showing Maine movie theatre ads to someone located in Maine, or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited, such as showing racing ads to someone who frequents racing sites.
DoubleClick DART cookies
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick service, 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 Daytona Beach, you may see Daytona Beach hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about photography. 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. For more detailed information, including the ability to opt-out of internet-based advertising, please visit the Google Privacy Center.
You may choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser options settings, or by managing preferences in certain Internet Security programs. 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.
