COOKIES

Some personal information may be collected through cookies, pixel tags, scripts, log files, web beacons and other similar technologies. We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Collect information about participant experience.
  • Track information indicating, among other things, which portions or pages of a Website or Service were visited, the order in which they were visited, when they were visited, and which hyperlinks and other user interface controls were used.
  • Determine your (or your device or ISP’s) non-specific geographic location.
  • Collect information regarding your IP address, unique IDs of cookies, unique IDs sent from mobile devices, and other device and electronic information.
  • Serve content or advertisements that match your preferred interests.

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or device that store information about you or your device and that can be accessed by the Services. We may use both “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies expire at the end of your browser session. Persistent cookies are stored in between browser sessions so we can remember your preferences or actions. You should be able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser. Most browsers offer instructions on how to configure the browser to reject certain or all cookies. If you reject our cookies, some functions and conveniences of the Services may not work properly. These cookie settings may not work for all browsers or devices. If you access the Website from multiple devices, you may need to update your settings on each individual device.

Third parties may also use Cookies embedded in our Websites to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites you visit. This information may be used by third parties to provide advertising tailored to your interests on other websites, apps and services you visit.

Pixel tags (also called web beacons clear GIFs) are typically invisible tags placed on certain pages of the Services but not on your computer or device. When you access those pages, pixel tags generate a generic notice of your visit. Pixel tags usually work in conjunction with cookies, registering when a particular computer or device visits a particular page. This can help us personalize the presentation of the Services for you. If you turn off cookies, the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous visit.

Our Websites use the following categories of cookies:

  • Required / Strictly Necessary Cookies: Required cookies are necessary for the operation, maintenance and/or security of our Websites.
  • Functionality / Performance Cookies: Functional and Performance cookies collect information about how visitors use our Websites, such as which pages visitors go to most often and if they receive error messages from web pages.
  • Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertising more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see a certain advertisement as well as help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaigns. They are usually placed by third-party advertising networks with our permission.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers may allow you to enable a do-not-track feature that alerts the websites you visit that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. Our Websites may not recognize or react in response to do-not-track signals. At present, no generally accepted standards exist on how companies must respond to do-not-track signals. In the event a final standard is established, we will assess and provide an appropriate response to these signals.

For example, you may not opt out of certain operational or transactional emails, such as those reflecting our relationship or transactions with you, or important notifications regarding the Services we are providing to you.

SECURITY

CEN Media Group Online has a program designed to protect personal data in its possession or control. This includes a variety of privacy and security policies, processes and procedures, including administrative, physical and technical measures.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website or Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. Do not share your password with anyone.

RETENTION OF YOUR INFORMATION

The length of time for which we retain information depends on the purposes for which we collected and used it, requirements of applicable laws, the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the information, the resolution of any pending or threatened disputes, and enforcement of our agreements.

COLLECTION OF DATA FROM CHILDREN

We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13 years of age and our Website and Services are not intended for individuals under 13. From time to time, we may offer certain Services to users under 18 years of age (but 13 years of age or older). In those cases, we may have additional requirements for registration or access to our Services, including, for example, approval of a parent or other authorized person. If we become aware that we have processed personal data of a person under 13 years, we will delete any personal data of such person from our records.
