We work with a company called ReachLocal, which assists us in advertising our products and services. In connection with its marketing efforts on our behalf, ReachLocal utilizes “cookies” and other tracking technologies and it may also permit selected third parties to do so.

For the most part, ReachLocal only uses what are referred to as “session cookies”, which are cookies that expire upon the conclusion of your visit to our site. These types of cookies are widely used to facilitate a consumer’s interaction with a website. ReachLocal also uses cookies (the “ReachLocal Network Cookies”) or permits its third party partners to use cookies (the “TP Network Cookies”) that enable ReachLocal to show you advertisements for our site when you visit other sites in the ReachLocal network or in third-party networks. (The “ReachLocal Network Cookies” and the “TP Network Cookies” are collectively referred to herein as the “Advertising Cookies”). This is the sole use of the Advertising Cookies-they are not being used to track you in any other way. Moreover, ReachLocal does not link the information in the Advertising Cookies or any other cookie to any personal information that you may have provided. To the extent that ReachLocal decides to change any of the foregoing practices, we will notify you by changing the “Last Modified” date at the top of this Notice of Certain Marketing Practices.
