Cookies - A third party ad server that places ads on our websites or websites visited by you while using our service may use “cookies" to collect anonymous information about your visit to the website and to manage information concerning your preferences.

It can, however, be read by the website that placed it to note information about your visit, such as your type of web browser, operating system and Internet Protocol ("IP") address, and is used as a convenience to you to recognize you when you log in as a registered user or as a repeat visitor to the website. This improves your on-line experience by adjusting to your preferences and tastes by remembering you and any options you select. You can control what cookies are accepted by your computer through the settings on your web browser or by deleting them from your files.

As with cookies, you cause your browser settings to control web beacons. We may share on-personal information obtained from cookies and web beacons with vendors, advertisers and others.
III.Law Enforcement and Legal Requests
1.Information Disclosure - We regularly receive legal requests from governmental entities and law enforcement personnel for customer information and records. We also receive discovery requests in civil litigation. In all such cases, we cooperate by providing such information as the law requires. Federal law generally allows civil parties to obtain information about you only with a court order and advance notice to you. Federal law provides generally that the government must obtain a court order for disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information and can do so only upon a showing of clear and convincing evidence that you are reasonably suspected of engaging in criminal activity, and the information sought would be material to the case. The law also generally affords cable subscribers an opportunity to appear and contest the disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information to a government entity pursuant to a court order. However, under certain specific circumstances, a governmental entity may obtain or issue a warrant, summons, subpoena (criminal or administrative) or other legal process that requires us to disclose communications or records concerning you such as name; address (physical or email);local and long distance connection records, or records of Internet or telephone session times and durations; telephone or instrument number or other subscriber number or identity, including any temporarily assigned network address (such as an IP address); and the means and source of payment for services, including any credit card or bank account number. Such a subpoena could also require that we not notify you of the request. In those circumstances, we will not provide you with advance notice. The laws concerning your privacy and government access change from time to time and may affect how we are required to respond. Due to this fact and the volume of requests we receive, we do not assume any duty to notify you of receipt of any legal requests.2. Internet Information - Your account records and information concerning your Internet access may be the subject of court orders or subpoenaed by the government or others through the courts. Internet messages and files shared over "peer-to-peer" services often include your IP Address, and you can be identified in this way if we receive a lawful subpoena or court order. As with telephone interception, details concerning your Internet access and the content of certain communications can be obtained by law enforcement through a warrant, summons, court order or sometimes a subpoena or similar authority. In addition, the law permits us to disclose to law enforcement, voluntarily and without prior notice, customer information, including the contents of communications, if we reasonably believe that an emergency involving immediate danger of death or serious physical injury requires such disclosure without delay or if we deem it necessary to prevent or assist in preventing or investigating child abuse.3.Telephone Information – Except for some limited instances of matters involving national security, current law requires law enforcement authorities to obtain a court order or other similar authority for a telephone wiretap or to use a pen register or trap and trace device to capture dialing information or monitor calls. Our interconnected VoIP telephone services are subject to similar interception standards. Law enforcement can also subpoena Call Detail and account information. Viscosity of Your Personally Identifiable Information
We are aware of the publicized instances of customer information security breaches and continue to work on new ways to protect Personally Identifiable Information. For our most sensitive databases, we use encrypted formats within controlled and secure environments that have access restricted to only our most trusted employees. Nevertheless, although we endeavor to ensure the integrity and security of our network and computer systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent all instances of possible unauthorized access. It is a federal criminal offense to (1) access our computer systems without authorization, or in excess of authorized access; (2)wrongly take information from our computers; and (3) engage in pretexting practices, which include making false or fraudulent statements or representations to an employee, agent, or customer, in order to gain access to customer accounts or confidential phone recursive the Internet, or by other means, without prior authorization from the customer to whom such records belong, or relate to. Consistent with these measures, we strictly prohibit the release of such information to unauthorized persons. Since we cannot control Web sites or Internet services operated by third parties that you may visit through use of our Services, we recommend that you review the terms of service and privacy policies of those Websites and services.
