Navigational Information
Addendale Press LLC and its partners use cookies or similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users’ movements around the website, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
We use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize pages on our Website, or register for the Subscription Service, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. When you return to the same Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the customized features.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Subscription Service or Website you visit. Addendale Press LLC keeps track of the Website and pages you visit within Addendale Press LLC, in order to determine what portion of the Addendale Press LLC Website or Subscription Service is the most popular or most used. This data is used to deliver customized content and promotions within the Website and Subscription Service to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
Log Files
We may collect demographic information, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites using log files that are not associated with your name or other personal information. There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by us. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, internet Subscription Service provider (ISP), the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, clickstream data, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used by Addendale Press LLC for the operation of the Subscription Service, to maintain the quality of the Subscription Service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Addendale Press LLC Website. For these purposes, we do link this automatically-collected data to Personal Information such as name, email address, address, and phone number.
