Cookies
A cookie is a small data file, often including an anonymous unique identifier,
that is sent from a web site's computer and stored on your computer's hard
drive. Use of cookies is common on the Internet. A web site can send its own
cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect
your privacy) your browser permits a web site to access only the cookies it has
already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. You can
configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you
when a cookie is sent. (Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of
your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.) You can reset your
browser to refuse all cookies or indicate when a cookie is being sent. But if
you refuse cookies, some parts of the Site will not function properly and may
not provide services or information you have requested.
Non-Personal Information
Like many sites, we obtain Non-Personal Information such as IP (internet
protocol) addresses, browser types, the name of your ISP (internet service
provider), information about where a user comes from before arriving at our
Site, what pages a user visits, the order of those pages, and the amount of time
spent on each. A vendor performs this service for us by sending a cookie to
gather this information, compile it, and report to us. We use Non-Personal
Information to customize the advertising and content you see, improve our
services, conduct research, and provide anonymous aggregated reporting for
internal audits and third-parties.
Advertising Networks
We send to your web browser some of the advertisements you see when you use our
network of web sites. However, we also allow other companies, called third-party
ad servers or ad networks, to serve advertisements within our web pages. Because
your web browser must request these advertising banners from the ad network web
site, these companies can send their own cookies to your cookie file, just as if
you had requested a web page from the web site. Please note that if an
advertiser asks us to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example,
men ages 18-34) or audience segment (for example, men ages 18-24 who have viewed
sports content) and you respond to that ad, the advertiser or ad-server may
conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach.
As always, remember we authorize our third-party ad servers to employ anonymous
cookies only for ad delivery and anonymous targeting. Our third-party ad servers
do not collect, nor do we give them access, to any Personal Information about
you.
3. Use of Information

the Site (A) to provide you with the services that you ask to receive through
the Site, including saving searches and, if you request it, sending you updates
about those searches, (B) to receive, if you choose, to receive periodic
industry updates, (C) to answer your questions or complaints, (D) to refer you
