Information We Collect About Visitors to Our Web Site
When visitors enter our Web site, our Web server recognizes the domain name of their ISP (Internet Service Provider) and the type of computer and browser they have. We cannot recognize individual users, but we do know if visitors are connecting to our Web site from popular ISPs like AOL, Earthlink, and MSN, or if they are connecting from a private company network.

On an aggregated basis, we track various tallies of Web site traffic. For example, we track referring pages. This is where visitors come from before they reach the Puzzlemania Web site, for instance, many select our Web site from a listing in a search engine. We also track the number of visitors to our site every month. We keep a record of which pages visitors see most often. We cannot, however, trace this information to individual visitors. We use the aggregate information we collect to improve the content, navigation, and performance of our Web site. We use information about individual computers and browsers to provide an optimal experience for our users. We do not share this information with third parties.

Like many Web sites, we use “cookies” to maintain information during your visit. "Cookies" are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your hard drive through your Web browser. Your browser allows you to reject cookies, and software is available from third parties that will allow you to visit our Web site anonymously, although certain site functionalities may be impacted.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), effective as of April 2000, was established by Congress to protect children’s online privacy. COPPA requires that children’s Web site operators adhere to specific guidelines regarding the collection and handling of personally identifiable information about children. For more information about COPPA and your child’s rights to online privacy, visit the FTC’s Kids Privacy Web site for parents at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/adults.htm.
