Log Files
Like most websites, we collect standard server log data. This may include your IP address, internet service provider, browser and device type, visit timestamps, and the pages you viewed on our site. We use these logs to operate, secure, and improve the Site and to prevent fraud and abuse.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.
We also use third party advertisements and affiliate links on color-meanings.com to support our site, and may receive commissions for any resulting sales, leads or clicks. 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).
Google Advertising Cookies (Google Ads / Ad Manager)
We work with advertising partners to show ads on this site. Some ads are delivered by Google through Google Ads and/or Google Ad Manager. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to deliver, measure, and improve ads, and to show personalized ads based on your visits to this and other sites.
What Google may collect:
- Online identifiers (e.g., cookies, device identifiers)
- Approximate location, browser, and device information
- Page views, ad views, and interactions (for measurement and fraud prevention)
How to control or opt out of personalized ads:
You can control Google’s ad personalization in Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com).
Opt-outs are browser- and device-specific. You may still see ads after opting out, but they should be less personalized. For California residents, you can also use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option available on our site; we also honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) where required by law.
You can choose 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. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.
Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.
We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website. Google Analytics gathers information about website use by means of cookies. The information gathered relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of our website. Google’s privacy policy is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy
