Information Obtained

When you look at our website, our Internet Service Provider automatically makes a record of your visit and logs the user’s IP address, date and time of visit, pages accessed, documents downloaded and the previous site you have visited plus the type of browser you are using. This information is obtained for statistical purposes. The Weekly Source will not identify users or their browsing activities unless there is an investigation by a law enforcement agency, which may then exercise its legal rights to inspect our Internet Service Provider’s records.

The browser on your computer can be reset to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some website features or services may not function properly without cookies.

We display banner advertising on our site and are able to tailor to your interests by the use of cookies. More specifically, Google and third party vendors use advertising cookies to see your previous website visits so they are in the position to serve up ads that are more relevant to you.
