The privacy of our visitors to Cheers is important to us.
At Cheers, we recognize that privacy of your personal information
is important. Here is information on what types of personal information
we receive and collect when you use visit Cheers, and how we
safeguard your information. We never sell your personal information to
third parties.
Log Files
As with most other websites, we collect and use the data contained in
log files. The information in the log files include your IP (internet
protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider, such as AOL or
Shaw Cable), the browser you used to visit our site (such as Internet
Explorer or Firefox), the time you visited our site and which pages you
visited throughout our site.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when
you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your
visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.
We also use third party advertisements on
Cheers to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology
such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our 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 our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed.
This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate
ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on
specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents
cooking sites).
DoubleClick DART cookies
We also may use DART cookings 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 visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when
viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). 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

You can chose to disable or selectively turn
off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by
managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. 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.
