Privacy Policy

Privacy Statement

The privacy of our visitors to the 9YIV Blog is essential to us.

At the 9YIV blog, we have created this privacy statement to show our commitment to your privacy. We respect your privacy here at 9YIV and will never give away your contact information without your prior consent and approval. This page discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for the website 9YIV.

Information Gathering

Like most other websites, we automatically collect and utilize the data in our site log files. The log files will include your IP (internet protocol) address, ISP, browser used (IE, Firefox, Safari, etc.), the date and time you visited our site, and which URLs you visited throughout our site.

Cookies and web beacons

When you visit our site, we use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences. 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 9YIV 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). If you want more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, visit this address: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.

Doubleclick dart cookies

We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when browsing the web and visiting a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie serves 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 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 manage preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you can interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to log in 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, a new cookie will be added the next time you visit a site running the advertisements.

If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your dealings with this Web site, you can contact us on the following page: Contact.
