b. Use of Cookies
The Cincy Blues Society may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user

web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned, and can only be read by a web
server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized functionality. The Cincy Blues Society reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner companies but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing your browser settings, then be aware that this may disable some of the functionality on our website.
c. Personal Information of Users
Visitors to our website may be permitted to register for certain. When you

USE OF WEB BEACONS OR
GIF FILES
The Cincy Blues Society web pages may contain electronic images known as web
beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow The Cincy Blues
Society to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded
services. The Cincy Blues Society may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail
messages or newsletters in order to determine whether messages have been opened
and acted upon. Some of these web beacons may be placed by third party service
providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or
email communications. These web beacons may be used by these service providers
to place a persistent cookie on your computer. This allows the service provider
to recognize your computer each time you visit certain pages or emails and
compile anonymous information in relation to those page views, which in turn
enables us and our service providers to learn which advertisements and emails
bring you to our website and how you use the site. The Cincy Blues Society
prohibits web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal
information.

HOW WE PROTECT
INFORMATION
We use commercially reasonable procedures to protect the personal information
that we collect from you against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as
unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. No security system
is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the
security during transmission to us of the information you supply over the
Internet. You can help us by taking precautions to protect your personal
