GarnishmentLaws.org recognizes that privacy of your personal information is important. So be assured we will never sell any of your personal information to third parties. How would any information from you be collected? The Internet operates as such that each website you visit activates certain processes such as below:
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. Be aware that log files are generated from any site you visit online.
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.
We use third party advertisements on GarnishmentLaws.org 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 and Ezoic Inc, a third party Google partner) 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 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 weight loss, you may see weight loss advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about gardening).
The DoubleClick cookie 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 the Google page here.
You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in your internet security programs. 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.
Besides Adsense, other advertisers we may or may not use on an affiliate basis in which we receive a small commission for each sale made through our link, are Amazon Associates, Clickbank, Commission Junction, ShareASale, and/or individual marketing companies. These companies make use of cookies to track and credit sales made through their affiliate links and their own privacy policies will apply.
Finally, we also use a third party Ad provider who is affiliated with Google Adsense, called Ezoic Inc. Ezoic uses various ad networks such as Google DoubleClick and others in conjunction with its ad layouts to improve their overall performance. Their specific privacy policy can be viewed here.
Info about Google’s DoubleClick cookies

This DoubleClick cookie 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.

This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts on the internet.
