The Washington Times recognizes the importance of protecting the information it collects from users in the operation of WashingtonTimes.com, and other activities. As such, The Washington Times takes reasonable steps to maintain the security, integrity and privacy of this information.

To enhance the user experience, The Washington Times may ask you for information such as your name, e-mail address, year of birth, gender, zip code, country, and street address. The Washington Times will not disclose this information in a way that will reveal a user’s identity to any third party, unless required by law, to enforce the Terms of Use for WashingtonTimes.com, or unless we have received your consent. However, The Washington Times may disclose this information in the form of anonymous, aggregate usage statistics (including ‘‘hits’’ on WashingtonTimes.com) and demographics, to advertisers and other businesses.

In order for WashingtonTimes.com to evaluate what products and pages of the Web site are attractive to our users, we have entered into agreement with online partners to assist us in determining how visitors use the Web site. To collect this important information, we use Web servers, beacons and cookies provided by our online partners to do all or some of the following: (1) track user activity on WashingtonTimes.com to generate site usage reports, (2) record registration information so the user does not need to re-enter it each time, (3) record user-specific information on what pages the user accesses or visits, and (4) record past activity at a site in order to provide better service when the users return to our site. The type of information we collect includes user geographic location, which pages each user visits, ISP, GMT timeframe, referral and destination sources, as well as visit duration. This information may be disclosed to advertisers and other businesses in the form of anonymous, aggregate usage statistics (including ‘‘hits’’ on WashingtonTimes.com) and demographics, but only in forms that do not reveal a user’s identity.

In addition to the information collected by us and registration information submitted by you, we may employ both first-party and third-party cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive containing activity-based information about you, and it is designed to facilitate the receipt of targeted and relevant advertisements.
