Cookies and Web Beacons
Cookies are used to store information, such as your personal preferences ,when you visit Flurries of Flour. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to features, such as comments.
I also use third party advertisements to support this site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on this 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 Flurries of Flour, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing stand mixer ads to someone searching for small kitchen appliances, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents baking sites).
DoubleClick DART cookies
This site 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 winter coats, you may see winter coat advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about cakes). 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 http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx

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.
