Information Collected via Cookies and Pixel Tags 
Like many websites, we use "cookies" to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we use persistent cookies to save your login information for future logins to the Site. Second, we use session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Site, to better understand how you interact with the Site and to monitor aggregate usage by LOST FORMAT users and web traffic routing on the Site. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Site and Service and then close your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Site or all functionality of the Service. 
We may also use "pixel tags," "web beacons," "clear GIFs" or similar means (individually or collectively "Pixel Tags") in connection with our Service to collect usage, demographic and geographical location data. A Pixel Tag is an electronic image, often a single pixel that is ordinarily not visible to users and may be associated with cookies on a user's hard drive. Pixel Tags allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Site, to deliver branded services and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns.

Behavioral Advertising and Google Analytics 
We use Google Analytics and other third party ad networks to both display advertising on our own Services and to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partners use cookies and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your activities on this and other websites in order to provide you targeted advertising based upon your age, gender, or interests, and to provide you relevant advertising through retargeting when you leave our sites. For example, you may see certain ads on this website or other websites because we contract with Google and other similar companies to target our ads.   


You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for these purposes by installing Google Analytics’ opt-out browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.  Please note that this does not opt you out of being served advertising — you will continue to see general ads that are not targeted to your interests.  Please also note that these opt-outs are specific to the individual browser used to visit it, and because those pages are not controlled by LOST FORMAT, we are unable to perform the opt-outs on your behalf.
