Cookies
A cookie is a data file that certain Web sites write to your computer's hard drive when you visit such sites. A cookie file can contain information, such as a user identification code, that the site uses to track the pages you have visited. Different uses cookies solely to track user traffic patterns throughout the Different web site and to allow you access to certain sections of the site. We use this data on an anonymous basis and we do not correlate this information with personal data of any user. Most Web site browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser settings to display a warning before accepting a cookie, or to refuse all cookies. However, if you choose to disable the receipt of cookies from our web site, you may not be able to use certain features of the site.
Browser Level Information
Different web servers automatically collect information about a site user's IP address, browser type and referrer by reading this information from the user's browser (information provided by every user's browser). This information is collected in a database and used-in an aggregated, anonymous manner-in our internal analysis of traffic patterns within our web site. This information is automatically logged by most Web sites.
Use of Information
Our primary goal in collecting user information is to enhance your experience on our Web site. We achieve this goal by, among other things, providing interactive communications such as our electronic newsletters to the e-mail address that you provide to us; and developing future editorial content based on your interests. To develop content targeted to your interests, we use aggregated user information to determine which areas of our Web site users prefer based upon traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but instead how well each page or content area performs overall.
Different may also disclose information about our users when we believe, in good faith, that the disclosure is required by law.
When you are on an area of our website and are asked for personal information, you are sharing that information with Different. If you do not want your information to be shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of your information by not using that particular service.
