Privacy Policy
The privacy of our visitors to TechnoGeekZone.com is important to us.
At
TechnoGeekZone.com, we recognize that privacy of your personal
information is important. Below is information on what types of personal
information we receive and collect when you use and visit
TechnoGeekZone.com, and how we safeguard your information. We will never
sell your personal information to third parties.
Log Files
As
with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log
files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet
protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL),
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.
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
on TechnoGeekZone.com 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 on specific sites
visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking
sites).
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
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.
