Advertising Cookies
Cookies are widely used in online advertising. Neither us, advertisers or our advertising partners can gain personally identifiable information from these cookies. We only work with advertising partners who work to accepted privacy standards such as Your Online Choices
You can learn more about online advertising at www.youronlinechoices.com. You can opt-out of almost all advertising cookies here although we would prefer that you didn’t as ultimately adverts help keep much of the internet free. It is also worth noting that opting out of advertising cookies will not mean you won't see adverts, just simply that they won't be tailored to you any longer.
Madaxeman.com uses:
- DoubleClick - Privacy Policy owned by Google. The DoubleClick DART cookie allows Google to serve up ads on this site based on the types of other sites you visit where Google may have tracked you (the information they collect does not include your name, address, email address or telephone number, in fact they don't identify users personally or use personally identifiable information to display interest-based ads - you are just lumped into a group of "surfing fans" or "potholers" and they serve relevant ads on that basis). This essentially means you may see adverts on this site which relate to your work, or other hobbies and interests in addition to ones about wargaming, moddeling and history. I am NOT tracking your general internet usage, and I do NOT have access to this information, it's all a Google thing. You can learn more, or opt out of the use of the Google DART cookie programme entirely by visiting this Google site.
Banner Adverts
We fund Madaxeman.com by showing adverts as you browse Madaxeman.com. These adverts are usually managed by a partner specialising in providing adverts for multiple sites. Invariably these partners place cookies to collect anonymous data about the websites you visits so they can personalise the adverts to you, ensure that you don't see the same adverts too frequently and ultimately report to advertisers on which adverts are working.
Turning Cookies Off
You can usually switch cookies off by adjusting your browser settings to stop it from accepting cookies (Learn how here). Doing so however will likely limit the functionality of our's and a large proportion of the world's websites as cookies are a standard part of most modern websites
It may be that you concerns around cookies relate to so called "spyware". Rather than switching off cookies in your browser you may find that anti-spyware software achieves the same objective by automatically deleting cookies considered to be invasive. Learn more about managing cookies with antispyware software.
The cookie information text on this site was derived from content provided by Attacat Internet Marketing www.attacat.co.uk/, a marketing agency based in Edinburgh. If you need similar information for your own website you can use their free cookie audit tool.
If you send me your email address or register for parts of this site, I won't give that info to anyone else, promise.
The more detailed technical bit is that parts of this website use cookies as part of the traffic monitoring system for me and the advertisers on this site, including stuff from Facebook (read their Privacy Policy to see how they embed stuff on this site to make it easy to link it to Facebook, and change your settings or get a browser plugin like Disconnect Me if you are uncompfortable with that), Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google") and Statcounter, a similar service provided by www.statcounter.com. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Statcounter and/or Google on servers in the United States or UK. They will all use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of this website, compiling reports on website activity (visible to me) and aggregating it for other website operators, and providing me with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. They may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on their behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website (you will get some irrelevant adverts, and you won't be able to add comments to the photo directories basically). By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google & Statcounter and some others in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
The 10mm & 15mm photo directories run on more FREE software called Coppermine. which is very clever as well, and is quite easy to set up, as long as your ISP gives you an SQL database. The WIKI runs on TikiWiki, which again is free and again uses its own cookies to speed up login if you set up an account.
