A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your
hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used
to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be
read by a Web Server in the domain that issued the
cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of
cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you
time. For example, if you personalize a web page, or
navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to
recall your specific information on subsequent visits.
Hence, this simplifies the process of delivering
relevant content and eases site navigation by providing
and saving your preferences and login information as
well as providing personalized functionality..
Alliance Discounts, Inc. reserves
the right to share aggregated site statistics with
partner companies, but does not allow other companies to
place cookies on our website unless there is a
temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging
into Alliance Discounts, Inc. websites which relies on
third-party cookies).
You have the ability to accept or
decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept
cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting
to decline cookies. If you reject cookies by changing
your browser settings then be aware that this may
disable some of the functionality on our Website.

Use of Web Beacons
or GIF files
Alliance Discounts, Inc. web pages
may contain electronic images known as Web beacons –
sometimes also called single-pixel gifs – that allow
Alliance Discounts, Inc. to count users who have visited
those pages and to deliver co-branded services.
Alliance Discounts, Inc. may include Web beacons in
promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in order to
determine whether messages have been opened and acted
upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be
placed by third party service providers to help
determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
or email communications. These Web beacons may be used
by these service providers to place a persistent cookie
on your computer. This allows the service provider to
recognize your computer each time you visit certain
pages or emails and compile anonymous information in
relation to those page views, which in turn enables us
and our service providers to learn which advertisements
and emails bring you to our website and how you use the
site. Alliance Discounts, Inc. prohibits Web beacons
from being used to collect or access your personal
information.
