Automatically Collected Information

Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by PopMalt.

Use of Cookies, Web Beacons, and Other Similar Technologies

The PopMalt website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize PopMalt pages, or register with PopMalt site or services, a cookie helps PopMalt to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same PopMalt website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the PopMalt features that you customized.

We use cookies to:

  • Understand and save user’s preferences for future visits.
  • Keep track of advertisements.
  • Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third party services that track this information on our behalf.

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the PopMalt services or websites you visit.

Use of Cookies For Advertising, Remarketing Advertising, and Building Custom Marketing Audiences

We use third-party cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies including Google AdWords Remarketing and the Facebook Pixel within our pages in order to remarket our content and/or products when past visitors of our website visit other websites that also utilize Google, Facebook, or other advertising technologies used by PopMalt. These technologies allow us to custom-tailor our marketing and advertising to show you relevant content or special offers based on your behavior on our website, including particular pages you viewed on our website or actions that you did or didn’t take on our website. These third-party vendors do this by placing a cookie on your computer or device that you used to access our website. These vendors may also deliver ads that may place additional cookies or track user behavior on their own. When Google, Facebook, or any other third-party remarketing vendor that we use detects this cookie within your web browser, it essentially tells them “This individual did x, y, or z on our website, therefore, display this specific ad for them.” This is why when you view a product in an online store such as ours, you may sometimes see that product advertised to you on other websites.

To opt out of remarketing through the vendors we use, please see the following information.

To opt out of Google’s use of advertising or other cookies or to change your advertising preferences with Google ads, you can go to Google’s Ads Settings.

To change your settings or opt out of Google Ads through DoubleClick, you can go to DoubleClick’s opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

To change your Facebook ad settings or opt out of Facebook ads related to the Facebook pixel or being included in custom audiences based on your browser’s interaction with the Facebook pixel, go to https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/.

To opt out of other vendors not listed in this section (and not necessarily utilized by PopMalt), you can do so by going to http://www.aboutads.info/choices.

Use of Google Advertising Technology

Google’s advertising requirements can be summed up by Google’s Advertising Principles. They are put in place to provide a positive experience for users. https://support.google.com/adwordspolicy/answer/1316548?hl=en

We use Google AdSense Advertising on our website.

Google, as a third party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

We have implemented the following:

  • Remarketing with Google AdSense
  • Google Display Network Impression Reporting
  • Demographics and Interests Reporting
  • DoubleClick Platform Integration

We along with third-party vendors, such as Google use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions, and other ad service functions as they relate to our website.

Opting out:
Users can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out by visiting the Network Advertising initiative opt out page or permanently using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add on.

Security of your Personal Information

PopMalt secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. PopMalt uses the following methods for this purpose:

  • SSL Protocol

When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

We strive to take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or alteration of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations inherent to the Internet which are beyond our control; and (b) security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Site cannot be guaranteed.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online.

PopMalt does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of thirteen, you must ask your parent or legal guardian for permission to use this website.

Disconnecting your PopMalt Account from Third Party Websites

You will be able to connect your PopMalt account to third party accounts. BY CONNECTING YOUR POPMALT ACCOUNT TO YOUR THIRD PARTY ACCOUNT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE CONSENTING TO THE CONTINUOUS RELEASE OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOU TO OTHERS (IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR PRIVACY SETTINGS ON THOSE THIRD PARTY SITES). IF YOU DO NOT WANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU, INCLUDING PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION, TO BE SHARED INTHIS MANNER, DO NOT USE THE THIS FEATURE.

Members of PopMalt Forums can disconnect access to their third party accounts by logging into the forums at https://www.popmalt.com/forums/ and disassociating the accounts under External Accounts with the Your Account settings pages.

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

  • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
