Privacy Policy

Welcome users, your privacy matters to us at MS Guides Blog. Therefore, we have outlined our privacy policy here for you.

At MS Guides Blog, we understand how important it is to keep your personal information private. Here’s what you need to know about the information we collect when you visit our blog and how we protect it. We never share your personal information with anyone else.

LOG FILES

Just like many other websites, we gather and use data stored in log files. These files contain details like your IP address (the unique number assigned to your device when connected to the internet), your ISP (the company that provides your internet connection, like AOL or Shaw Cable), the web browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site, and the specific pages you looked at while browsing our site.

COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS

We use cookies to store certain information, like your personal preferences, when you visit our site. This might involve showing you a popup message just once during your visit or allowing you to log in to certain features, like forums.

We also have third-party advertisements on MS Guides Blog to help support our site. These advertisers may use technologies like cookies and web beacons to gather information when they display ads on our site. This information may include your IP address, internet service provider (ISP), the browser you used, and sometimes whether you have Flash installed. They might use this data for things like showing ads related to your location (like real estate ads for New York) or showing ads based on the sites you’ve visited (like cooking ads for someone who visits cooking sites).

DOUBLE-CLICK DART COOKIES

We might also use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s Double-Click. These cookies are placed on your computer when you browse the web and visit a site with Double-Click advertising (including some Google AdSense ads). They help serve ads tailored to your interests, based on your browsing history (“interest-based targeting”). For example, if you’ve been looking at sites about Las Vegas, you might see ads for Las Vegas hotels on unrelated sites, like a hockey site. DART uses “non-personally identifiable information” and doesn’t track personal details like your name, email address, or phone number.

You can decide to turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings or through security programs like Norton Internet Security. But, this might change how you can use our site and others. For instance, you might not be able to log in to forums or accounts.

Even if you delete cookies, it doesn’t mean you’re opted out of advertising programs forever. Unless you’ve set your browser to block cookies, when you revisit a site with ads, a new cookie will be added.

THIRD PARTIES AND OPT-OUT

Third-party advertisers may show you ads based on your interests, gathered from your activity across various apps and websites over time.

These third parties may combine data from websites or apps you use on your current device with information from your other devices for advertising. To opt out of this type of advertising and cross-device targeting, you can use the following links:

  • Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) – http://optout.networkadvertising.org/
  • Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) – http://www.aboutads.info/choices/
  • Digital Advertising Alliance Canada (DAAC) – http://youradchoices.ca/choices
  • Digital Advertising Alliance EU (EDAA) – http://www.youronlinechoices.com/

Please keep in mind that choosing to opt out of interest-based advertising and cross-device targeting doesn’t stop you from receiving online ads altogether. Instead, it means that the third-party you’ve opted out of won’t deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns on a specific web browser or device.
