At GeekViewpoint.com, we recognize that our visitors’ privacy is important. To better protect our visitors’ privacy, we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices they can make about the way their information is collected and used.

We collect information to identify trends on our site, without identifying individual visitors. We collect anonymous geographical information on our visitors so as to better serve them. Such information include time zone, for example, so as to schedule maintenance on our site at a time that is least inconvenient for our visitors. In addition, we collect the following anonymous information for trending purposes: what site referred our visitors to us; what is the time of visit; is this a returning visitor.

This privacy policy sets out to inform our visitors of how GeekViewpoint.com uses and protects any information that our visitors give GeekViewpoint.com when they use this website. GeekViewpoint.com is committed to ensuring that our visitors’ privacy is protected. Should we ask a visitor to provide certain information by which they can be identified when using this website, our visitor can be assured that the information will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.

Cookies and Web Beacons

A cookie is a small file which asks permission to be placed on an individual’s computer’s hard drive. Once the individual agrees, the file is added and the cookie helps analyze web traffic or lets the individual know when they visit a particular site. Cookies allow web applications to respond to a person’s preference. The web application can tailor its operations to people’s needs, likes and dislikes by gathering and remembering information about their preferences.

We DO NOT use cookies to personally identify our visitors. We use cookies to help us provide our visitors with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages our visitors find useful and which they do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to our visitors computers or any personally identifiable information about them, other than the data they choose to share with us.

For visitors with forum accounts, those visitors have the choice of using cookies to remember their forum user id and password. Most forums provide this option to visitors.

We also use third party advertisements on GeekViewpoint.com to serve ads. 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 information including visitors IP address, their ISP , the browser they used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether they have Flash installed. This is generally used for geo-targeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example). For more information about this practice and choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

Our visitors can choose to disable or selectively turn off cookies in their browser settings. However, a person’s browser setting may affect their ability to interact with our site as well as other websites. This may include the inability to login to forums or other user accounts.
