This Privacy Policy applies to information about you that may be collected when you visit ApplianceRepair-NearMe.com (the “Site”).

This information may include IP addresses, device identifiers, browser characteristics, operating system details, internet service provider details, language preferences, referring URLs, time and length of visits, and pages viewed.

“Cookies” are small data files stored by your web browser on your computer. Cookies may allow a website to recognize a user’s device, record user preferences, track the pages a user clicks on while visiting the website, and identify the website visited immediately beforehand. Most web browsers accept cookies by default, but you may be able to adjust your browser settings to remove or reject cookies. Please note that blocking cookies may affect the availability and functionality of this Site and other websites. Also, disabling cookies may invalidate opt outs that use cookies to recognize devices that have opted out.

The Site or third parties may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different devices and online properties when you use the Site, and certain automatically collected information may be combined with other information about you, including data obtained from third parties.  Cookies, web beacons, and other technologies may be operated on the Site by vendors like Google to collect or receive information about your internet usage, including your use of this Site, and use that information to provide measurement services and target ads.  This Site and these vendors may use first-party cookies or other first-party identifiers as well as third-party cookies or other third-party identifiers to deliver advertisements, create a profile of you, measure your interests, detect your demographics, detect your location, and personalize content. 

Certain web analytics services, including Google Analytics, may be used on the Site to help understand and analyze how visitors use the Site and to serve ads across the Internet.  Google Analytics Advertising Features may also be enabled such as remarketing with analytics, interest-based advertising, demographics and interests reporting, user segment analysis, and impression reporting.  For more information on how Google Analytics uses data collected through the Site, visit policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.  You may also be able to opt out of Google Analytics by visiting tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

You may be able to opt out of certain interest-based advertising using the settings on your browser or mobile device.  In addition, the following services offer tools that you can use to limit or opt out of interest-based advertising:

Your opt-out choice may apply only to the browser or device you are using when you opt out, so you should opt out on each of your browsers and devices if you want to disable interest-based advertising for those browsers and devices.  If you opt out, you will still receive ads, but they may not be as relevant to you and your interests and your experience on the Site may be degraded.  Please note that this Site does not control how third parties manage their opt-out processes.

Your web browser may have settings that allow you to transmit a “Do Not Track” signal when you visit various websites or use online services.
