Website visitors

Except as described below, TG Media does not collect or require visitors to its Web sites to supply personally-identifying information such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers. Like most web site operators, TG Media does collect non-personally-identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, which are the browser type, language preference, referring site, and date and time of each visitor request. TG Media also collects potentially-personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, which are non-personally-identifying in and of themselves but could be used in conjunction with other information to personally identify users.

TG Media's purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how TG Media's visitors use its web sites. To that end, TG Media may share potentially-personally-identifying information with its employees and service providers. TG Media may also release non-personally-identifying information about visitors (e.g., by publishing a report on web site usage trends). Otherwise, TG Media will not publicly release potentially-personally-identifying information except under the same circumstances as TG Media releases personally-identifying information. Those circumstances are explained below.

When you visit the TG Media web sites and use our services, you agree that TG Media may process your personal data.

Community users

Certain members of the TG Media community (contributors, customers, etc.) choose to interact with TG Media in ways that require TG Media and others to know more about them. The amount and type of information that TG Media gathers from those members depends on the nature of the interaction. TG Media collects personally-identifying information only insofar as is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the community member's interaction with TG Media. Community members should assume that information that is supplied may be made available to the public and any sensitive information should not be stored on TG Media web sites.

Cookies

What are cookies?

A cookie is a string of information that a Web site stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the Web site each time the visitor returns. Most major Web sites use cookies. Because the browser provides this cookie information to the Web site at each visit, cookies serve as a sort of label that allows a Web site to "recognize" a browser when it returns to the site. The domain name in TG Media cookies will clearly identify their affiliation with TG Media.

How we use cookies

TG Media uses the information provided by cookies and tracking pixels to develop a better understanding of how TG Media's visitors use TG Media's web sites, and to facilitate those visitors' interactions with TG Media's web sites. TG Media may make the aggregate data obtained from web analytics publicly available. If this data is made available, none of the information will be personally-identifying information or potentially-personally-identifying information.
