Privacy
At HomeGymMachinesWorld.com we take your privacy very seriously. We endeavor to inform you of the types of information our website automatically collects or requests when you use and visit us, and, how this information is safeguarded. Please be aware we never sell your information to third parties.
Server Log Files
Backend server software which our website is hosted on automatically collects various pieces of information from you when you visit. Almost all websites do so. Information includes your IP address, your ISP (AOL, Comcast, etc) the type of browser you hit our website with (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, etc) and various time stamps for visiting us, along with which pages you visited.
Beacons and Cookies
Our website, like many others, stories cookies, which allow the preferences of our visitors to be saved for repeat visits. Examples of cookie use are keeping a visitor logged in upon their request, or, allow them to prevent a popup they have read from being shown again.
We run thirty party advertisements on our website which also make use of cookies and web beacons. Some of the aforementioned information like IP address, ISP and so forth will also be sent to these third party advertisement networks, namely Google AdSense/DoubleClick.
Mostly, such information is used to serve advertisements relevant to you based upon your approximate location, or your ISP, or even showing you advertisements which are relevant to your interests based upon your previous surfing habits. (For instance, if you frequent baseball websites, you may find baseball advertisements appear on seemingly unrelated websites. This is web beacons and cookies at work.)
DoubleClick DART Cookies
DART cookies are part of the Google AdSense/DoubleClick system and may sometimes be placed on your computer when you visit our website or another website participating in Google AdSense. As has been mentioned, this works to serve you adverts based upon your interests by cataloging the type of websites you have previously visited to give you advertisements you may find useful or interesting. This is known as interest based targeting.
DART cookies use “non personally identifiable information” which means sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, email addresses, contact lists, phone numbers, physical addresses, names, bank details, social security numbers and other types of information are absolutely not tracked, stored or logged in any way shape or form.
Regardless, you can choose to opt out of receiving any kind of DART cookies universally by going here: http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx
Alternatively you can selectively turn off cookies from various websites via options in most web browsers or third party internet security software. Be warned, however, many websites need cookies to be set to allow in order to offer you a fully functional web service such as long ins or saving personal settings.
Furthermore, manually deleting or ‘cleaning’ cookies doesn’t prevent a new cookie from being replaced onto your system once you visit a cookie functioning website. Cookies must be deleted and the website blocked from sending cookies, if this is your wish.
