User Information
"Personally identifying information", or just personal information, is information which includes your name, home or other address (like
your school), e-mail address, telephone number, or any other info that tells
another person who you are. Movieline.com® sometimes collects contact info (like
e-mail address, name, address and phone number. This information may be used for
any sweepstakes or competitions we run. We will only gather as much information from you as is reasonably necessary for your participation in that activity. Users may "opt-out" (which means to
decide not to do or get something) of receiving future mailings and are given the
opportunity to do so each time you register for a sweepstakes/win. We may send
you e-mail notices about products, companies and events that we think might
interest you. At any time you can change your user information. In addition, we
make information available to selected companies who have services, products and
offers that we also think might interest you. If you do not want to receive these
messages, email us at Movieline.com. Movieline.com® also collects certain
non-personally-identifiable information about you, such as the server your
computer is logged onto or your browser type (for example, Netscape or Internet
Explorer). The information collected by Movieline.com® is used for the purpose of
targeting advertisements and measuring advertisement effectiveness on behalf of
Movieline.com's advertisers and Web publishers who specifically request it.
To enable Movieline.com® to compile meaningful reports for its client Web sites and
advertisers and to better target advertising to you, Movieline.com® collects the
following types of non-personally-identifiable information about users who are
served ads via Movieline.com® technology:
-Your IP address (a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet).
Information which Movieline.com® can infer from the IP address includes the user's
geographic location, company, and type and size of organization.
-Your domain type (i.e., .com, .net, or .edu.). Standard information included with every communication sent on the Internet.
-Your browser version and type (i.e., Netscape
or Internet Explorer), operating system (i.e., windows or DOS), browser language
(i.e., Java or Unix), service provider (i.e., MindSpring or AOL), your local
time, etc.
-Your clickstream information (i.e., Movieline.com® can measure how you utilize
the pages you visit within a site).
On occasion, affiliated advertisers or Web publishers may provide Movieline.com®
with non-personally-identifiable demographic information so that you may receive
ads that more closely match your interests. This information is afforded the same
stringent privacy protections as the Movieline.com®-generated
non-personally-identifiable data. Movieline.com® believes that its limited use of
the non-personally-identifiable data benefits you because it enhances the
functionality and effectiveness of the advertisements you view which are
delivered through the Movieline.com® technology.
We make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy wherever we ask you
for personal information. Below are more details about the information
Movieline.com® gathers from you and how we use it.
Cookies
Movieline.com®, along with thousands of other Web sites, uses "cookies" to
enhance your Web viewing experience. A cookie is a piece of data sent from a
server to your browser and is served in your computerÕs hard drive. Movieline.com's
cookies cannot be used to determine any personally identifiable information about
you and do not damage your system or files in any way. Here's how it works. When
you are first served an advertisement (ad) by Movieline.com®, Movieline.com® assigns
you a unique number and records that number in the cookie file of your computer.
Then, when you visit a Web site on which Movieline.com® serves ads, Movieline.com®
reads this number to help target ads to you. The cookie can help ensure that you
do not see the same ad over and over again. Cookies can also help advertisers
measure how you utilize an advertiser's site. This information helps our
advertisers cater their ads to your needs.
While we believe that cookies enhance your Web experience by limiting the
repetitiveness of advertising and increasing the level of relevant content on the
Web, they are not essential for us to continue our leadership position in Web
advertising.
If you do not want the benefits of cookies, there is a simple procedure that
allows you to deny or accept this feature. To find out more about this procedure,
please follow these instructions.
To eliminate cookies you may have currently accepted, and to deny cookies in the
future, please follow this procedure:
If you are using Netscape Navigator 3.0, go to the Options Menu, to Network
Preferences and then to Protocols. Check the box that says "Show an alert before
accepting a cookie." Then go into your Netscape folder (usually c:\program
files\netspace\navigator) and delete the file, which is called "cookies.txt."
Under Windows 95, you could also use the Find feature on the start menu to simply
find the file called Cookies.txt.
In Internet Explorer 3.0, go to the View menu, then to Options, then to Advanced.
Check the box that says "Warn before accepting cookies." Then go into your
cookies directory (usually c:\windows\cookies) and delete all the files you have
there. Once you delete these files, you will have no more cookies, and you will
be prompted each time a Web site attempts to send a cookie to your system. At
that time, you can choose to either Accept or Cancel the cookie.
If you are using Netscape 4.0+, go to "Edit" in the menu bar, click on
"Preferences", click on Advanced", and check the box that says "Warn me before
accepting a cookie". Now go to your "Start" button, click on "Find", click on
"Files and Folders", type "cookies.txt" into the search box that appears, and
click "Find Now". When the search results appear, drag all files listed, into the
"Recycle Bin". Now shut down and restart your Netscape.
In Internet Explorer 4.0, go to the View menu, then to Internet Options, then to
Advanced. Check the box that says "Prompt before accepting cookies." Then go into
your cookies directory (usually c:\windows\cookies) and delete all the files you
have there. Once you delete these files, you will have no more cookies, and you
will be prompted each time a Web site attempts to send a cookie to your system.
At that time, you can choose to either Accept or Cancel the cookie.
