Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Your Travel Cap collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Your Travel Cap’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Your Travel Cap’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Your Travel Cap may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Your Travel Cap also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on http://www.yourtravelcap.com blog posts. Your Travel Cap only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Your Travel Cap’s websites choose to interact with Your Travel Cap in ways that require Your Travel Cap to gather personally-identifying information.

For example, we ask visitors who sign up for our newsletter at http://www.yourtravelcap.com to provide us with a name and e-mail address.
Furthermore, when visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

Advertisements
Ads appearing on our website may be delivered to users by third-party advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer.

This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Your Travel Cap and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Googe Adsense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (such as showing ads about a Boston restaurant to someone who lives in Boston) or showing ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing boating ads to someone who frequents boating websites).
You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can effect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums and accounts.
