This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums. We also may use third party advertisements on AAM. 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. You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites.

If you use a credit and/or debit card, this information may be forwarded to your credit and/or debit card provider. For other types of registrations, we will ask for the relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal information, including personal identifying information, to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical support and troubleshooting.
