Information collected by using cookies
We use cookies to provide a visitor with a customized version of HumorLinks listings. It comprises a list of those sites which the visitor has added to the MyHumor page by clicking on the appropriate link. A visitor's country preference may also be set via the use of cookies.

We also use cookies to store a visitor's preferences in the user forums, including: -

• the option to store a visitor's username and password in memory for one year (a visitor won't have to type a name/password at all during that year). If the visitor checks "no," the username and password will be saved after the visitor types it once, but only for that browser session (no long-term memory)
• the standard number of days (history) for viewing topics
• which forum topics have been posted since the visitor's last visit.

Option to decline the use of cookies
HumorLinks visitors may avoid receiving cookies altogether simply by not adding anything to the MyHumor page and not visiting the HumorLinks Forums. Visitors may also disable cookies in their web browsers.

Privacy of our email lists and other submitted information
HumorLinks maintains email lists to keep HumorLinks members informed about updates and additions to the directory and forum. Individuals must affirmatively ask to join our mailing lists by contacting HumorLinks staff directly or by submitting the appropriate subscription forms. We do not sell, rent, loan, trade, or lease the addresses on our list to anyone. In addition, we configure our list server software to refuse to divulge the email addresses of our list subscribers to anyone but authorized HumorLinks staff, including other list subscribers. Any other information submitted by way of our submission forms (electronic greeting cards for example) is kept strictly confidential and is only made available to the intended recipient(s).
