voluntarily given by our users to enhance their experience in our network of

and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be
particularly interested in something we are doing. 101CookingRecipes.com never
shares newsletter mailing lists with any third party, including advertisers,
sponsors or partners.
When we use tracking information to determine
which areas of our sites users like and don't like based on traffic to those
areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page
performs overall. This helps us to continue to build a better service to you. We
track search terms entered in Search function as one of the many measures of
what interests our users. But we don't track which terms a particular user
enters.

reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers, sponsors and
partners. This allow our advertisers to advertise more effectively, and allows

will never know that a specific user clicked their ad. We will not disclose any
information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or
valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our users or the
public.
