Certain features on this Web Site may ask you to provide us with personally identifiable information, which is information that could reasonably be used to identify you personally (such as your name, address, or e-mail address) You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in some or all of the Web Site’s features. This Web Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If we discover that a child younger than the age of 13 has provided this Web Site with personally identifiable information, we will delete that child's personally identifiable information from our database. In addition, when you visit or download information from this Web Site, our web servers may automatically collect web site usage information. Web site usage information is non-personally identifiable information that describes how our visitors use and navigate this Web Site. It can include the number and frequency of visitors to each web page and the length of their stays, browser type, referrer data that identifies the web page visited prior and subsequent to visiting the Web Site and IP address (see below for more information on IP addresses).

USE OF INTERNET PROTOCOL ("IP") ADDRESSES

 

An IP address is a number that’s automatically assigned to your computer or network when you are on the Internet. When you request pages from this Web Site, our servers log your IP address. We may use IP addresses for a number of purposes, such as system administration, to report aggregate information to our business partners or to audit the use of the Web Site. We may also use IP addresses in cooperation with internet service providers or law enforcement agencies to identify users if we deem it necessary to comply with law, to enforce compliance with this Privacy Policy or this Web Site’s Terms of Use, or to protect the Web Site or its users.

 

USE OF COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS

 

Cookies are pieces of information that a web site either transfers to your computer’s hard drive or stores temporarily in your computer’s memory for record-keeping purposes. We may use cookies for a number of purposes, such as to track site usage. This garage does not save personally identifiable information in cookies, but we may link the cookie to any personally identifiable information or other information we collect. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent by indicating this in the preferences or options menu in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of this Web Site will not operate correctly if you disable cookies and you may not be able to take advantage of or participate in certain features of this Web Site. You should consult with your browser’s provider/manufacturer if you have any questions regarding disabling cookies. Our web pages or e-mails may contain a small graphic image called a web beacon (which is sometimes also called a "web bug" or "clear gif") and which allows the party that set the web beacon to monitor and collect certain limited information about the viewer of the web page or e-mail message (such as the type of browser downloading the web beacon, the IP address of the computer that the web beacon is sent to and the time the web beacon was viewed, as well as the URL of the page the web beacon comes from). Web beacons are typically very small (generally 1-by-1 pixel) and invisible to the user, but, in general, any electronic image viewed as part of a web page or e-mail message, including an advertisement or HTML content, can act as a web beacon. We may use web beacons for a number of purposes, such as to count visitors to our web pages or to monitor how our users navigate this Web Site, and we may include web beacons in e-mails in order to count how many e-mails (or particular items within the e-mails) we sent were actually opened.
