Other Companies
NLPA may send to your web browser some of the advertisements you see when you use NLPA, or some of its Customer Services, however, we also allow other companies (called third-party ad servers or ad networks) to serve advertisements within our web pages.
Because your web browser must request these advertising banners form the ad network web site, these companies can send their own cookies to your cookie file, just as if you had requested a web page from their site.
Please note that if an advertiser asks NLPA to show an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, litigation counsel) and you respond to that ad, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that you fit the description of the audience they are trying to reach.
Opting Out of Third-Party Ad Servers
You may contact any other company to opt-out of any service which they provide.
IP Addresses
When your web browser or email application requests a web page or email form another computer on the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the address where it should send the information. This is called your computer’s “IP Address” (“Internet Protocol Address”). For most users accessing the Internet from a dial-up Internet Service Provider (ISP), the IP address will be different every time you log on.
Information Collection and Use Practices
NLPA receives IP addresses form all users because this information is automatically reported by your browser each time you view a web page. Your IP address is also stored in our user registration databases when you register with NLPA.
IP addresses may be used for various purposes, including: Diagnose service or technology problems reported by our users or engineers that are associated with the IP addresses controlled by a specific we company or ISP; Send the most appropriate advertising based on geographic area or information derived from you IP address; Estimate the total number of users visiting NLPA form specific countries or regions of the world; and, Assist merchants working with NLPA to track visits to and business at their sites.
Other
Many IP addresses are commonly associated with Internet service providers, universities, or major corporations in specific regions or localities. Aggregate information derived from IP addresses may also be reported to advertisers.
When and NLPA web page is requested and viewed, that request is logged on our servers with information including the IP address of the computer that requested the page. Because IP addresses are included in outgoing mail message headers, sending an email to NLPA may also reveal an IP address.
