About IP Addresses

InfoMedia, Inc. collects IP addresses for the purposes of system administration and to report aggregate information to our advertisers.

An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer whenever you’re surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve" up Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address.

When guests request pages from InfoMedia, Inc. sites, our servers log the guests’ IP addresses. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a user’s session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous to us.

 
Use of Cookies

What are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a Web site transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences while you’re at our site. The use of cookies is an Industry standard -- you’ll find them at most major Web sites.

By showing how and when guests use the site, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information is most easily tracked with cookies. If you accept the first tracking cookie from any InfoMedia, Inc. web site, you won’t be offered as many afterwards.

 
Examples of How InfoMedia, Inc. Sites Use Cookies

A cookie lets the computers remember that you’ve registered, which allows us to speed up your future activities at our sites. Similarly, The WorldVillage Store Online uses a temporary cookie to track which products you’ve chosen while shopping. The cookie expires once you’re done shopping. Letting it do the record keeping saves you the trouble of entering information over and over again during a single visit. If you decline this cookie, you may have difficulty ordering your selections.

InfoMedia, Inc. sites never use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie.

You may occasionally get cookies from our advertisers. InfoMedia, Inc. does not control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to the InfoMedia, Inc. cookie policy. The use of advertising cookies sent by third-party servers is standard in the Internet industry.

Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you’d prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some parts of the site, such as the shopping, contest, and game areas, will not function properly if you do so.
