V. OUR USE OF COOKIES AND RELATED TECHNOLOGIES
We and our third party partners use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track information about your use of our Service. We use this information to better understand, customize, and improve user experiences with the Service, as well as for advertising purposes. We may combine this information with other personal information we collect about you (and our third party business partners may do so on our behalf).

• Cookies. Cookies are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters. We may use both session and persistent cookies. A session cookie disappears after you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to our Site. Please review your browser’s “Help” file to learn the proper way to modify your cookie settings. Please note that if you delete or choose not to accept cookies from the Service, you may not be able to utilize the features of the Service to their fullest potential. To learn more about cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
• Clear GIFs, pixel tags, and other technologies. Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web and app pages. We may use clear GIFs (a.k.a. web beacons, web bugs, or pixel tags) to among other things, track the activities of site visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about Service usage. A clear GIF can collect information such as: the IP address of the computer that downloaded the page on which the tag appears; the URL of the page on which the pixel tag appears; the time the page containing the pixel tag was viewed; the browser type and language; the device type; geographic location; and, the identification number of any cookie on the computer previously placed by that server. We and our third party business partners may also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our customers, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
• Analytics. We may use Google Analytics and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting to collect information regarding visitor behavior and visitor demographics on some of our Sites, and to develop website content. For more information about Google Analytics, please visit www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can opt out of Google’s collection and processing of data generated by your use of the Services by going to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• We may use Chartbeat to monitor and analyze the use of our Service. Chartbeat is a web analytics service offered by Chartbeat that tracks and reports website article traffic. For more information on Chartbeat’s privacy practices, please see Chartbeat’s Privacy and Terms: https://chartbeat.com/privacy and https://chartbeat.com/terms.
• Interest-based advertising. We may set tracking tools (e.g., cookies, clear GIFs) provided by third-party advertising partners on our site to collect information regarding your activities on our site (e.g., your IP address, page(s) visited, time of day) for advertising purposes. We may also share such information with third party advertising partners. These advertising partners may use this information (and similar information collected from other websites) for purposes of delivering targeted advertisements to you when you visit non-Voice Media Group related websites within their networks. This practice is commonly referred to as “interest-based advertising” or “online behavioral advertising.” If you do not want interest-based advertising, you may be able to opt-out by visiting US-based www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and www.aboutads.info/choices/.

We use Google’s AdSense and DoubleClick services to show advertisements to you to help support and maintain our Service. You can use Google’s Ads Settings to manage the Google ads you see and opt out of Ads Personalization. For more information on Google’s privacy practices, please see Google’s Privacy and Terms: https://policies.google.com/?hl=en

We use the remarketing services below to advertise on third party websites to you after you have visited our Service:

• Do Not Track (DNT). Your browser setting may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal to websites and online services that you visit. There is no consensus as to what DNT means in this context, and since some browsers apply DNT signals by default it does not necessarily reflect our visitors’ choice as to whether they wish to receive advertisements tailored to their interests. As a result, like many websites, we do not alter our practices when the Service receives a DNT signal from a visitor’s browser. For information about “do-not-track”, visit http://www.allaboutdnt.org.

VI. DISCUSSION BOARDS AND SIMILAR FEATURES
When you post information on a discussion board or comment publicly on an article on our Service, the information you post and your username are publicly accessible. This information can be viewed online and collected by other people. We are not responsible for the way these other people use this information. When contributing to a discussion, we strongly recommend you avoid sharing any personal details, and especially information that can be used to identify you directly such as your name, age, address and name of employer. We are not responsible for the privacy of any identifiable information that you post in our online community or other public pages of the Service.

VII. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
We may send periodic promotional emails to you. You may opt-out of promotional emails by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email.
