Use of Web Beacons |
|
3G
homepage.com Web pages may
contain electronic images known as Web beacons - sometimes |
| called single-pixel gifs -that allow 3G
homepage.com to count users who have visited those pages |
| and to deliver co-branded services. Web beacons
are not used to access your |
| personally
identifiable information on the 3G homepage.com network of sites
and services; they are a |
| technique we use
to compile aggregated statistics about 3G homepage.com
web site usage. |
|
Web beacons collect only a
limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a |
| page view, and a description of the
page on which the Web beacon resides. 3G homepage.com Web |
| pages may also contain Web beacons placed there
by our advertising partners, as described below, |
| to help 3G homepage.com determine the effectiveness of
our Internet advertising campaigns. |
| |
| Use of Cookies |
|
Many of the
3G homepage.com Web
sites use "cookies" to help you personalise your online |
| experience. |
|
A cookie is a text file that is
placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used |
| to run programs or deliver
viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can
|
| only be read by a web server in the
domain that issued the cookie to you. |
|
One of the primary purposes of
cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The |
| purpose of
a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to
a specific page. For example, |
| if
you personalise 3G homepage.com's pages, or
register with 3G homepage.com's sites or services, |
| a cookie helps
3G homepage.com to recall your
specific information on subsequent visits. This |
| simplifies the
process of recording your personal information, such as
billing addresses, shipping |
| addresses, and
so on. When you return to the same 3G homepage.com Web
site, the information |
| you previously
provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the 3G homepage.com features that
|
| you had
customised. |
|
You have the ability to accept or
decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, |
| but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to |
| decline cookies,
you may not be able to fully
experience the interactive features of the |
|
3G
homepage.com services or Web sites that you visit. |
| |
| Use of Third Party Ad Networks |
|
The majority of the online banner
advertisements you see on 3G homepage.com's Web sites are
|
| displayed by 3G homepage.com. |
|
In addition,
3G homepage.com
also allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad |
| networks, to display advertisements on
3G
homepage.com's Web sites. To do this, ad networks |
| place a
persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this
allows the ad network to recognise your |
| computer each
time they send you an online advertisement. In
this way, ad networks may compile |
| information
about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw
their advertisements and |
| determine which
ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver
advertisements |
| that they
believe will be of most interest to you. |
|
3G homepage.com does not have
access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the |
| third-party ad servers or ad networks.
|
|
If you want to prevent one of
these third-party companies from sending and reading cookies on your |
| computer, you will need to visit each ad
network's Web site individually and request that you be |
| removed from its
system. |
| |
| Control your Personal Information |
|

homepage.com offers its customers choices for the collection, use and
sharing of personal |

future promotional e-mail from 3G homepage.com Web sites by |
| following the specific instructions in the
e-mail you receive. The instructions explain how to stop |
| receiving such
e-mails. |
|
There are some Web sites,
including 3G homepage.com, which send out periodic e-mails informing |
| you of technical service issues, product
surveys, new feature announcements and news about |
| 3G homepage .com products and services.
These e-mails are considered essential to the provision of |
| the service you
have products and services.
|
| You will not be
able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings, as they are
considered a part of the
|
| service you have

| |
|
Security of your Personal
Information |
