Cookies

A cookie is a small file which is placed on the user's hard drive during a visit to our websites. This file allows the user to move quickly and easily around our site. It is used to identify returning users and to identify subscribers and registrants (a registrant - and subscriber - will have the cookie linked to their email address as a way of identifying them). A cookie cannot read other data from your computer's hard drive and is not used to disseminate information about users over the Internet. Already Bored does not allow third parties to set cookies from its web sites.

We also use cookies and the information we collect to show you relevant content and advertising. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can set your browser options to block cookies if you prefer. If a user declines the attachment of a cookie, the user may not have access to the full benefits of our web sites.

Already Bored's websites have reasonable security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of information under our control.
