stored on your computer's hard drive. As a standard
practice, Surf Junky assigns a cookie with an

Surf Junky uses its own cookies for a number of

Access your information when you "sign in," so
that we can provide you with customized content,
such as your profile and account options.
Keep track of preferences you specify while you
are using Surf Junky.
Display relevant advertising banners based on
your interests and activity on Surf Junky.
Estimate and report our total audience size and

your account contents.
Surf Junky does not require users to accept cookies
in order to enter or view the site or register.
However, if you reject cookies, you will not be able

cookie. If you have questions about how to change
your browser's "cookie" settings, please contact the

or features of Surf Junky will be significantly

When you are on Surf Junky, advertisers and/or
our partners may place their own cookies on your

these parties make of the information obtained
through the cookies they send. If you have questions
or concerns regarding cookies sent to you by
companies other than Surf Junky, we encourage you to
contact those companies directly.
Who has access to your personally

We recommend that you do not divulge your password
to anyone. Surf Junky will never ask you for your
password in an unsolicited phone call or in an
unsolicited email. Also, if you share your computer
or use a computer that is accessed by the general
public (a university, library, etc...), remember to
"log out" of your Surf Junky account and close your
browser window when you have finished your session.
This will help to ensure that others cannot access
your personal information.

with our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the

products or services, and you use these services at
your own risk.

Sponsorships:
Surf Junky may disclose your personal information to
business partners or sponsors of promotions or

information to the sponsor or as otherwise
stipulated in connection with the rules or privacy
policy applicable to the promotion. You should
