PRIVACY POLICY:
-OOCITIES.ORG MAY ENABLE THIRD PARTIES TO COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR
VISIT FOR STATISTIC OR ADVERTISING PURPOSE.
The privacy of our visitors is important to us.
Here is information on what type of personal information is received and collected when you use and visit Oocities.org.
While OoCities.org itself does not collect nor store any personal data
about visitors, you still find several third party code snippets embedded
into OoCities.org and any of it's
user generated content pages
By providing OoCities.org we generally assume your knowledge and consent.
Third parties tracking visitor information may include especially but not exclusively:
Extremetracking.com, Google Analytics, Google Adsense, Google Web API, Google Maps API, Amazon API, Youtube API,
Advertising.com and/or more similar services.
Still by the nature of OoCities.org the complete list of services used on every single page is vast and can
hardly be provided here completely.
More precisely the mentioned services store non-identifiable personal, contextual and behavioral data about your visit
on OoCities.org and some merge it with data they tracked about you on other websites
already. This is possible especially through your browser's "cookies", "user-agent",
JavaScript and IP-address.
Data stored in your "cookies" can later be read by
the same parties that initiated the cookies earlier, to rediscover you and refine the stored
information. This, for example, enables them to remember which categories of
websites or advertisements you have browsed previously and show you something related later on another site.
Cookies generally are stored up to 90 days in your local browser's cookie directory on
your computer. While, as of the said above, third parties are able to track
visitors accurately by City, Age-, Interest groups and more and exchange their data
with other statistics or advertising providers all this data remains anonymous or
willingly anonymized and no identity information
about you, such as your name or exact physical address supposedly is tracked ever. Anyways, if for some reason you should want to opt out of a certain type of
advertising you may do so by clicking the blue rectangle shaped information
symbol in the top right of any banner advertisement that you notice on any website
and then, following, the Opt-Out button on the respective agency page that you
will land on. For example at http://advertising.aol.com/advisibility
it even will tell you what exactly are your assumed categories of interest.
Furthermore if you should want to opt out of customized ad
serving generally you can make sure by disabling certain cookies in your
browser or trying the most popular browser extension to date "AdBlock Plus" and it's settings.
Finally, if you are going to avoid being tracked at all you may even consider disabling most
JavaScript, Cookies and your browser's user-agent as well. Obviously don't
block cookies of website that should recognize you being logged in etc. and
note that some services welcome visitors only who use proper cookies, user-agent and JavaScript.
