Advertising
We also use third party advertisements on Customikes to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New Car Dealer ads in San Diego to someone visiting our site from an IP address in San Diego, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing tire ads to someone who frequents tire sites).
Opt-In Email Newsletter
We offer visitors the option to subscribe to our free electronic newsletter, sent on behalf of our sites on occasion via email. The email addresses of our subscribers are never shared with third parties. Subscribers are offered a simple, one-click means to unsubscribe to the newsletter from within each individual email. We never send unsolicited offers to our subscribers unless they have specifically requested third-party advertisements via email. Our email newsletters are often “co-branded” with our automotive partners, and may contain partner content or third-party advertising offers, which may contain coding and tracking technology. This technology is used to track the marketing effectiveness of our email newsletter offers and they do not transmit any personal information to third parties. We also employ “anti-spam” features that block our newsletters from being sent or forwarded by known spamming entities. Our e-mail subscriber list is maintained and deployed from our internal and proprietary email database, servers, and via our email vendors such as MailChimp, GoDaddy , and/or others. Their own privacy policy and anti-spam policy applies to this policy.

We may offer merchandise and e-commerce to visitors through third-party vendors. Third-party privacy and merchandise policies are supplemental to this privacy policy.
