The privacy of our visitors to Keralites.net is important to us.
At Keralites.net, we recognize that privacy of your personal information is
important. Here is information on what types of personal information we receive
and collect when you use and visit _Keralites.net, and how we safeguard your
information. We never sell your personal information to third parties. User
information and or site activity data, including pages accessed, browsers,
domains may be collected throughout the World Wide Web sites. This information
is used for standard information purposes and to improve the site content and
display.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences
when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in
your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.
Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on your site and
Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to your users based on
their visit to your sites and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of
the use of the DART cookie by visiting the
Google ad
and content network privacy policy.
Log Files
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in log
files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet protocol)
address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or Shaw Cable), the
browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the
time you visited our site and which pages you visited throughout our site.
We also use third party advertisements on Keralites.net to support our site.
Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons
when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as
Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP
address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases,
whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting
purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example)
or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking
ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).
DoubleClick
DART cookies
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick,
which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a
site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense
advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your
interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served will be targeted based
on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites
about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when
viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non
personally identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information
about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number,
social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. You can
opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting
DoubleClick Dart Advertising Policy.
You can chose to
disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your
browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet
Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as
well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or
programs, such as logging into forums or accounts. Deleting cookies does not
mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have
settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the
advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
Keralites.net may disclose information in situations where we reasonably believe
that it is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal proceedings against
someone who is misusing the site, using the site without proper authorisation,
is interfering with the rights of Keralites.net, or when Keralites.net believes
that the law requires such disclosure. In addition, the information may be used
to verify your compliance with the Keralites.net Web site Terms of Use.
By using or visiting this site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood,
and agree to be bound by this Policy and the Keralites.net Terms of Use, both
now and in the future.
