cookie is a
small text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to
run programs or
deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you,
and can only be read by a Web
Server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of
cookies is to provide a
convenience feature to save you time.
For example, if you personalize a web
page, or navigate within a site, a
cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent
visits. Hence, this
simplifies the
process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by
providing
and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing
personalized functionality.
CarDealerBuyingSecrets.com reserves the
right to share aggregated
site statistics with partner companies, but does not allow other
companies to
place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding
customer
value (such as merging into TopSecretAutos.com a site that relies on
third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept
or decline cookies. Most
Web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline
cookies. If
you reject cookies by changing your browser settings then be aware that
this may
disable some of the functionality on our Website.

4. Use of Web Beacons or GIF
files
CarDealerBuyingSecrets.com/www.cardealerbuyingsecrets.com
Web pages may
contain electronic images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called
single-pixel gifs – that allow CarDealerBuyingSecrets.com to count users who
have
visited those pages and to deliver co-branded services.
CarDealerBuyingSecrets.com may
include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in
order to
determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may
be placed by third party
service providers to help determine the effectiveness of our
advertising
campaigns or email communications.
These
Web beacons may be used by these service providers to place a
persistent cookie
on your computer. This
allows the
service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit certain
pages
or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to those page
views,
which in turn enables us and our service providers to learn which
advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you use the
site. CarDealerBuyingSecrets.com
prohibits Web beacons from
being used to collect or access your personal information.
