COOKIES
A cookie is a small piece of data
stored on a user's hard drive that contains non-personal information about
the user. Cookies, by themselves, cannot be used to find out the identity of
any user, as the cookie is stored without any identifiable or encrypted
information. In other words, if the cookie file were to be obtained by some
means, there is no simple analysis that would lead to the e-mail address
embedded in the cookie. If for some reason the user would rather not take
advantage of the benefits made possible with cookies, most browsers will
allow the user to reject cookies or choose which cookies to accept on a
case-by-case basis.
Tropmet.com employs HostingMasters
Incorporated (HostingMasters) services to manage any subscriber lists and
mailings. HostingMasters uses cookies to measure and report the
click-through rate on e-mails delivered, as well as the pass-along rate (how
many times an e-mail recipient passed along an e-mail to another person) but
does not collect information about the actual recipients of the pass-along.
More information about how HostingMasters manages the privacy of information
in conjunction with the provision of e-mail services can be found at
www.hostingmaster.com.
This policy does not cover the use of cookies
by any advertisers. Tropmet does not have control of, nor access to, the
information contained in its advertisers' cookies.
