Cookies are files that your Web browser places on your computer's hard drive. ComputingReviews.com creates and then uses these cookie files to track your clicks as you go through the Site. ComputingReviews.com may use cookies to tell us whether you have visited the Site previously, and to help us determine whether you came to the Site from a particular internet link or banner advertisement. Cookies may also be used to help to save and retrieve passwords used on the Site and information on certain preferences, saving you from having to re-enter this information upon every visit to the Site. ComputingReviews.com does not and cannot use cookies to retrieve personal information about you from your computer unless such information was previously knowingly and willingly provided by you. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, which provides you with the opportunity to decide whether you want to accept or reject the cookie. Please continue to review this Privacy Policy so that you are aware of our current policy with respect to cookies.
ComputingReviews.com uses the information we collect from Site Visitors to help target information dissemination about reviews.com, to help us to determine what new features to develop on the Site, and to help us determine the popularity and effectiveness of various Site features. ComputingReviews.com also uses such information to send information requested by Site Visitors to such Site Visitors, to periodically notify Site Visitors of new and/or existing features, to tell Site Visitors about promotions and service availability, to provide Site Visitors with other notifications, to improve the Web Site Visitor experience with reviews.com and to better manage and maintain the reviews.com Services. However, you should know that reviews.com will only send communications to Site Visitors if such Site Visitors have "opted in" to receive or requested such communications.

ComputingReviews.com does not share, sell, rent, or loan any personally identifiable information regarding any Site Visitor to or with any third party, except for the Association for Computing Machinery, Inc.

[ACM will not share or use your personally identifiable information, other than to provide you with copies of articles you request, to review and analyze recommendations you provide to reviews.com regarding articles or reviewers, and to contact you if you submit a review to reviews.com that ACM wishes to use or publish]. ComputingReviews.com may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information with third parties. This information will not be linked to any personally identifiable information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, reviews.com may comply with any subpoena, order of court, or request by a regulatory or law enforcement agency to gain access to any of the information, including without limitation personally identifiable information, which reviews.com collects.
