Our use of cookies

Our website makes use of cookies which are small digital files that are stored in your web browser that enable us to keep you logged into our site.

Your browser settings may allow you to block these cookies, but we recommend you have them enabled, otherwise you will not be able to view the private areas of the site or be able to make any posts.

Advertising and use of cookies by Advertisers

We also use third party advertisements on automaticwasher.org to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP, the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing Minnesota real estate ads to someone in Minnesota, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites). You can chose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.
