One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize ONLINE TARGET MARKETING's pages, or register with ONLINE TARGET MARKETING sites or services, a cookie helps ONLINE TARGET MARKETING to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, preferred email address, and so on.

If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the ONLINE TARGET MARKETING services or Web sites you visit.

Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the ad network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. Online Target Marketing does not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party ad servers or ad networks.
