Our Website may send a "cookie" to your computer. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. Cookies do not damage your system. Cookies allow us to recognize you as a user when you return to the LocalStripFan.com website using the same computer and web browser. We use cookies to identify which areas of our site you have visited, so the next time you visit the site, those pages may be readily accessible. We also may use this information to better personalize the content that you see on our Website. Most browser software can be set to reject Cookies. However, if you reject our Cookies, certain functionality on our Website may not work correctly or at all. We do not link Non-Personal Information from Cookies to your Personally Identifiable Information.

In the course of serving advertisements or optimizing the Service to our Subscribers, we may allow authorized third parties to place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser.

Our Web Beacons are not used to track your activity outside of our Website or the websites of our sponsors. We do not link Non-Personal Information from Web Beacons to Personally Identifiable Information without your permission.
