This
Privacy Policy discloses the general privacy practices
for www.depotnews.com.
TASI is committed to respecting the
privacy rights of visitors to any of associated web
sites. While visiting these web sites (collectively, the
"Site"), we may ask you to register and/or
provide information that personally identifies you

interacting with the Site. To further the protection of
your Personal Information, TASI has
adopted a set of information management guidelines
(outlined below) which serve as the basis for our
customer and advertiser relationships.
Information & Cookies (and
no, not the kind you eat, but the kind we place on your
computer).
In order to perform certain search inquiries and handle
the 'technological navigation' through our web sites, we
sometimes have to have a way to identify who has
requested what from our web-site. We do this,
through means of a "cookie" which is used by TASI
to identify registered users, your likes/dislikes
(as it pertains to a specific site) and certain
technology settings. These cookies are only for
use on our web site and do not effect your computer in
any way.
We use cookies to track usage of the Site and further
customize your experience when you are visiting our
site. By tracking usage, we can best determine what
features of the Site best serve the users. We never give
out information to others about individual usage.
However, we do provide our advertisers with aggregate
information about our users, such as "2,000 people
viewed your ad today."
What
can a Cookie do/not do?
A cookie is an element of data that a web site can send
to your browser, which may then be stored on your
system. This element of data is a piece of text, not a
program. The Site can only access the information from a
cookie sent by the Site. We cannot access other cookies
sent by other web sites or the information contained
therein. Additionally, we cannot learn your email
address or any other information about you through the
use of a cookie. The only way we would learn such
information is if you specifically submit that
information to us, for example, through our registration
system, by entering a sweepstakes or promotion, etc.
May I decline to accept a cookie? On those pages
of the Site that do not require registration, you may
decline to accept cookies sent by the Site by selecting
an option on your browser to reject cookies. However,
some portions of the Site may require registration in
order to access those areas. In such case, we ask that
you register and provide us with basic information on
our registration page. Finally in other cases, our
web-site may not handle your "navigation
request" correctly, without a cookie.
