What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an anonymous unique
identifier. When you visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to store this file in
a part of your hard drive specifically designated for cookies. Each Web site can send its own cookie to your
browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a Web site
to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. Browsers are usually
set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you may alter the configuration of your
browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our
site will not function as effectively when viewed by the users.
How Do We Use Information We Collect from
Cookies?
As you visit and browse our Web site, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from
other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent you from having to log in more than is necessary for
security. Cookies, in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of
people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback to
constantly improve our Web site and better serve our clients. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal
information about you and we do not intentionally store any personal information that your browser provided to us
in your cookies.
Use of Cookies and Web
Beacons
We may use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. Cookies are
identifiers that are transferred to your computer's hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to
recognize your browser. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific
page. For example, if you personalize the sites pages, or register with any of our site's services, a cookie
enables fishingforhogs.com to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying your Web browser;
however, if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the
site.
What Are Web
Beacons?
A web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor your journey around a
single website or collection of sites. They are also referred to as web bugs and are commonly used by sites that
hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be used in association with cookies to understand how
visitors interact with the pages and content on the pages of a web site.
We may serve third-party advertisements that use cookies and web beacons in the
course of ads being served on our web site to ascertain how many times you've seen an advertisement. No personally
identifiable information you give us is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally
identify you with that information on our web site.
Some third-party advertisements may be provided by Google, which uses cookies to
serve ads on this site. Google uses the DART cookie, which enables it to serve ads to our users based on their
visits to this site and other sites on the Web. You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the
Google ad and content network privacy policy
Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is
being sent. Privacy software can be used to override web beacons. Taking either of these actions shouldn't cause a
problem with our site, should you so choose.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet.
Your IP address is a number that is used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are
automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as traffic data so that
data (such as the Web pages you request) can be sent to you.

the information that uniquely identify a subscriber (such as email addresses or personal details) with anyone
except to the extent it is necessary to process transactions or provide services that you have

legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this
information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms
of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the Public.
