4. UNDERSTANDING COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
We and our service providers may collect Other Information in a variety of ways, including through a browser or device; using cookies, pixel tags or other similar technologies; and through IP addresses.
Cookies and Pixel Tags
Cookies are a standard feature of websites that allow us to store small amounts of data on your computer about your use of our Sites. A cookie is a small piece of information that a website can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer’s hard drive. It acts as a tag that identifies your device. Cookies have the ability to store information about web pages viewed and the advertisements viewed or clicked. For registered users (as applicable), cookies can also save user information and screen preferences.
A pixel tag, also known as a clear GIF or web beacon, is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of the Sites but not on your computer. When you access these services, pixel tags generate a generic notice of that visit. They usually work in conjunction with cookies, for example, registering when a particular device visits a particular page. If you turn off cookies, the pixel tag will simply detect an anonymous visit.
X Games uses cookies and pixel tags to provide better customer service, and to analyze how visitors use and navigate the Sites and identify areas which may need improvement. Cookies also help us enhance navigation and the functionality of the Sites, to securely maintain a session for existing users accessing password-protected areas, and to personalize aspects of a visitor's experience.
We may collect information from cookies and pixel tags to evaluate responses to surveys and our advertisements on other websites and to provide you with specific or relevant content such as articles and educational material when you visit the Sites. Some of the Sites use cookies to better serve you when you return to the Sites. For example, a cookie may remember your user ID to simplify your login to a password-protected page. X Games may also use cookies, pixel tags, or other technologies to track your use of certain partner websites.
We do not currently respond to browser do-not-track signals. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers allow you to automatically decline cookies or be given the choice of declining or accepting a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular website.
You may also wish to refer to www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html. You can change your browser settings so that cookies are declined or deleted. Note, though, that if you do not accept cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Sites and you may not receive advertising or other offers from us that are relevant to your interests and needs.
IP Address
Your IP address is automatically assigned to your computer by your Internet Service Provider. Your IP address may be identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you access the Sites, along with the time/date of your visit. We may use IP addresses for purposes such as calculating usage levels, diagnosing server problems, and providing the Sites. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.
Analytics
We may also use Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how visitors use the Sites. We may use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the Sites. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, applications, and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and exercise the opt-out provided by Google by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
5. ONLINE ADVERTISING
X Games may arrange for advertisements with links to Sites to be placed on third-party websites and web pages and may contract with select partners and affiliates, which use cookies, pixel tags and other online technologies and which we believe may have or facilitate offers that may be of interest to you, to collect information regarding your interaction with X Games advertisements and your use of Sites and third-party websites. These other companies may also collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites. This information may be used to show you X Games advertisements on any of your devices that may be of interest to you when you visit other websites.

6. LINKING TO THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
This Privacy Policy does not apply to and does not address those websites, services, or communications of third parties that have their own privacy statements, or to websites of other companies or third parties that are linked to the Sites. We are not responsible for the privacy, information or practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any website or service to which the Sites link. The inclusion of a link on the Sites does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our affiliates. To learn about the privacy policy of another website or service, please refer to the privacy statement for that website or service.
In addition, we are not responsible for the information collection, use, disclosure, or security policies or practices of other organizations, such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, RIM, or any other application developer, application provider, social media platform provider, operating system provider, wireless service provider, or device manufacturer, including with respect to any personal information you disclose directly to other organizations or which you enable to be disclosed to other organizations as result of your device or browser preferences through or in connection with your use of any such applications or social media pages.
7. SECURITY
X Games seeks to use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards and other security measures to protect personal information within our organization. Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Please note that information you send to us electronically may not be secure when it is transmitted to us. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us through the use of the Sites.
