Democracy in the US: July 4, 1776 - January 20, 2010

Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Privacy Center.

Google's AdSense policy states that third-party advertising companies who serve ads on my blog may use information gathered when you click on the ads in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

As of April, 2009, Google is introducing "Interest-based advertising". Interest-based advertising will allow advertisers to show ads based on a user's previous interactions with them, such as visits to an advertiser website and also to reach users based on their interests (e.g. "sports enthusiast"). To develop interest categories, Google will recognize the types of web pages you visit throughout the Google content network. As an example, if you visit a number of sports pages, Google will add you to the "sports enthusiast" interest category.
