to administer the site and analyze its usage. Examples of information we may
track include:
- Your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- The kind of browser or computer you use.
- Number of links you click within the site.
- State or country from which you accessed the site.
- Date and time of your visit.
- Name of your Internet service provider.

b. USE OF COOKIES
Odyssey Interactive may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your hard disk
by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver
viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, 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.
Odyssey Interactive 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 (such
as merging into MYYEARBOOKBUILDER.COM a site that relies on third-party
cookies).
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. USE OF WEB BEACONS OR GIF FILES
MYYEARBOOKBUILDER.COM web pages may contain electronic images known as Web

Interactive to count users who have visited those pages and to deliver
co-branded services. Odyssey Interactive may also 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. Odyssey
Interactive prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your
personal information.
