COOKIES AND IMAGE TAGS 
The use of cookies is an industry standard and they are currently used on most websites, including this Site. Cookies are a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website server to either your browser or temporary storage of a user’s computer so that the website administrator or a third-party operational service provider may identify the computer and passively track the user’s activities on the website. Image tags work in conjunction with cookies and are small image files that may be located on select pages of our Site, or with-in web-based email newsletters that we may send. (Image tags are also called web beacons, web bugs, clear GIFs or single-pixel GIFs.) Tracking is important because we can better understand what parts of our website are used the most, when to launch new services and how to enhance current offerings. We may share the information we receive from cookies and image tags with third-parties and our Advertisers in aggregate form, which means that such information does not contain specific Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information about any one visitor.

In short, cookies and image tags collect a user’s Internet protocols and server information. Such data files allow our Site to remember your web browser when you visit our Site and are necessary tools for quick and efficient access to membership clubs, awards programs and contests. A cookie will not allow the Site to learn any Personal Information (such as your real name and email address) or Sensitive Personal Information that you have not otherwise disclosed. Cookies and image tags allow the Site to remember important information that will make the Site easier for you to use and help us in our administration of various activities. We do not use cookies or image tags to collect other Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information unless you give us permission to do so.

This Site may contain advertisements, references and links to other services, websites and organizations. Third party Advertisers may also display or serve advertising on the Site and communicate with you. Often these Advertisers employ cookie, image tags and other technologies to measure advertising effectiveness. You should be aware that different rules might apply to the collection, maintenance, use and disclosure of your information by third parties in connection with their advertisements, promotions and other websites you encounter on the Internet. The use of such technology by these third parties is within their control and not ours. Even if we have a relationship with a third party, we do not control their websites, their technology or their policies and practices regarding your Personal Information. This Privacy Policy does not cover any use of Personal Information or Sensitive Personal Information that a third party, an Advertiser or non-affiliated ad server may collect from you. We encourage you to investigate and ask questions directly of them in this regard. WTUZ Radio, Inc. is not responsible for the content or privacy practices employed by third-party Web sites. Please check the privacy policy of these web sites concerning what information may be collected the third-party.

You may also choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie or image tag is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all such devices. This is done through your browser on your computer by turning off the setting that allows it to accept third party cookies. If you turn cookies off in this manner, you may not have access to many features at our Site that make your Internet experience more efficient and personal, and some of our features or Advertiser features or services may not function properly.
