We will never give your personal information to anyone else except when required to do so by law.

Cookies and beacons

Our third-party advertising partners use cookies in combination with web beacons to serve ads and to analyze the effectiveness of the ads that they serve.

A cookie is a small text file containing a string of characters that a website sends your computer. It records information necessary for certain website functions, such as remembering your preferences or settings.

Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies, but you change your browser's cookie settings to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. Some features and services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled.

Google, a third-party advertising vendor, uses the DART cookie to serve ads based on your visits to Off Record and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad content network privacy policy.

A web beacon is a small image file that is placed on a web page and used in conjunction with cookies to accurately count the number of unique users who have visited a specific page or viewed a specific advertisement. Any image file on a Web page can act as a Web beacon.
