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.

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).
