At linuxpracticalguide.blogspot.my, we recognize that privacy of your
personal information is important. Here is information on what types of
personal information we receive and collect when you use and visit linuxpracticalguide.blogspot.my,
and how we safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information
to third parties.
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.
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 also use third party advertisements on linuxpracticalguide.blogspot.my 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)
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 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 may 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 visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas
hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about
hockey). DART 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

You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or
third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in
programs such as Norton Internet Security. 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.
