features appeal the most to you and what content you may have viewed
on past visits. When you visit this Site again, cookies can enable us
to customize our content according to your preferences. We may use cookies
to: keep track of the number of return visits to this Site; accumulate

IP Addresses
We automatically track certain information based upon your behavior
on the Site. We may use this information to do internal research on
our users' demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand,
protect and serve you and our community. This information may include
the URL that you just came from (whether this URL is on the Site or
not), which URL you next go to (whether this URL is on the Site or not),
your computer browser information, and your IP address. Your Internet
Protocol ("IP") is a unique Internet "address" which
is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider ("ISP").
For local area network ("LAN"), DSL, or cable modem users,
an IP address may be permanently assigned to a particular computer.
IP addresses are automatically logged by Web servers, collecting information
about a user's traffic patterns. While the IP address does not identify
an individual by name, it may, with the cooperation of the ISP, be used
to locate and identify an individual using the Web. Your IP address
can, however, reveal what geographic area you are connecting from, or
which ISP you are using. Finally, other websites you visit have IP addresses,
and we may collect the IP addresses of those websites and their pages.
Computer Profiles
INDIO CERTIFIED SMOG.COM may also collect and accumulate other anonymous

of our visitors. For instance, INDIO CERTIFIED SMOG.COM may accumulate
visitor data relating to referring domain names, the type of browsers
used, operating system software, screen resolutions, color capabilities,
browser plug-ins, language settings, cookie preferences, search engine
keywords and JavaScript enablement. Unless you provide us with personally
identifiable information, we will not use such visitor data to identify
you.

This Privacy Policy applies only to the Site. The Site contains links
that direct you to websites owned and operated by other companies. In
particular, when you take advantage of a promotional offer, you will
be directed to the web sites of our marketing partners that will also
collect your personal information, such as credit card companies. INDIO

the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party websites,
which may employ cookies and/or collect personal information. In addition,
INDIO CERTIFIED SMOG.COM will not and cannot censor or edit the content

each third party website that you visit.
