sell such information as an asset of the company in conjunction with the sale to
a third party of our company or a portion of our assets.

of our Site whenever you visit us online. For instance, we may collect various
forms of "click stream" information such as entry and exit points for our Site
(i.e., referring URLs or domains), site traffic statistics, page views,
impressions, and operating system and browser type. In addition, when users
request pages on our Site, our servers automatically log their IP addresses. An
IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever
you are surfing the Web.
We also use third-party software that tracks traffic directed to Galaxy
Marketing.com from affiliate Web sites and the purchases that result from this
traffic. This information is aggregated and is not tied to an individual
purchase.
This Aggregate Information generally will not personally identify you or be
correlated to you individually for external purposes. We may collect, compile,
store, publish, promote, report, sell, or otherwise disclose or use any and all
Aggregate Information, provided that, such information does not personally
identify you. When we share such information with other companies, it is not
traceable to any particular user, and will not be used to contact you. If we do
correlate any Aggregate Information to you, such information will be treated
like any other Personal Information under this statement.
Cookies. We may make use of "cookies" on our Site. Cookies are small text files
that are stored on a user's computer by a Web server based on the permissions
set in a user's browser software. A cookie itself is not designed or intended to
read any information from a user's computer (other than the contents of the
cookie); rather, it is an identifier used by the Web site that originally placed
it on your hard drive. The actual contents of the cookie information can be
retrieved by the same server to identify the computer and subsequently to
customize, monitor, or regulate the use of a site based on information stored on
the host server. Therefore, cookies only identify the user's computer to the Web
site which may correlate other information, including personally identifying
information, with the cookie.
We use cookies to allow us to automate access and data entry functions of our
Site such as to correlate online ordering information for purchases you may make
while at the Site (if any), tailor the Site to your preferences or interests, or
customize promotions or marketing. In addition, cookies allow us to track use of
the Site to determine those areas which are useful or popular and those that are
not thereby enabling us to improve and update the Site effectively.
You may adjust your Web browsers to either alert you of the use of cookies or
refuse to accept cookies entirely. For Internet Explorer or AOL users, you can
click on the "Start" button and then select Control Panel, Internet Options and
the Security tab. If you click on the "Custom" button, you will be able to see
the cookie options. For Netscape users, in the browser, select File, Preferences
and then Advanced to view the cookie options. Be aware that if you elect not to
accept cookies, the Site may not function properly or permit access.
Use of Web Beacons. We may use Web beacons on our site or other sites and may
permit third parties to place them on our site to monitor the effectiveness of
advertising or for other legitimate purposes. A Web beacon, also known as a "Web
bug," is a small, graphic image on a Web page, Web-based document or in an
e-mail message that is designed to allow the site owner or a third party to
monitor who is visiting a site. Web beacons are often invisible to the user
because they are typically very small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as
the background of the Web page, document or e-mail message. Web beacons are
represented as HTML IMG tags in the Web page; users can click on "view profiles"
of the web page to see whether the page is using a web beacon.
Web beacons collect the IP address of the computer that the Web beacon is sent
to, the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from and the time it was viewed.
Web beacons can also be linked to personal information. For example, advertising
networks use Web beacons to add information to a personal profile of what sites
a person is visiting and to determine what banner ads to display based on the
profile. Another use of Web beacons is to provide an independent accounting of
how many people have visited a particular Web site. Web beacons are also used to
gather statistics about Web browser usage at different places on the Internet.
Links to Other Sites Please be aware that we provide links to third-party Web
sites as a service to our guests, and that we are not responsible for the
content or information collection practices of those pages. Please note that
these Web sites' privacy policies may differ from those of Galaxy Marketing. We
