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 Google 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 (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites). You can chose 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.
(e) Children. I do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under the age of 13.

All competitions and giveaways are open to all over the age of 16 as long as those aged between 16-18 or those living with parents have their permission to give out their postal address if they win and are due to be posted a prize. Should you not wish to give out your home address you could set up a PO Box address via your post office, this is obviously just a suggestion.
