USE OF COOKIES
The Skinz.me™ Website use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server for record keeping purposes. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. Cookies make web-surfing easier for a User by saving the User's passwords, purchases, and preferences. A cookie lets the computer remember that a User has registered, which allows us to speed up such User's future activities at the Skinz.me™ Website. Similarly, any Website store may use a temporary cookie to track which products a User has chosen to purchase while shopping. Letting the cookie do the record keeping saves the User the trouble of entering information over and over again during a single visit. You may occasionally get cookies from our Server and/or third party advertisers. The cookie is only used to track frequency limits on the ads. No personally identifiable information is stored on the Ad Server cookie. Skinz.me does not control the cookies of our Ad Server and/or third party advertisers, and these cookies are not subject to the Skinz.me cookie policy. The use of advertising cookies sent by Ad Servers or third party advertisers is standard in the Internet industry. The use of cookies is an Industry standard, and you'll find cookies at most major web sites. By showing how and when a User uses the Website, cookies help us see which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Website are based on such data.
The Skinz.me™ Website never uses cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in a cookie. Except as described in this Privacy Policy, the Skinz.me™ Website does not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes; nor is that information shared with any third parties. The Skinz.me™ Website does not use cookies to identify specific individuals, except in such cases as online shopping (see above) and contest registration (where a cookie may allow you to enter a contest without registering again each time).
Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some areas of the Skinz.me™ Website, such as any shopping, contest, and game area, may not function properly if you set your computer to refuse cookies.
