Third Party Advertisers and Links to Other Sites

Lexxica may invite other companies, called third party sponsors or ad servers or ad networks, to provide content and or advertisements within the Word Engine websites. These third party sponsors or ad servers or ad networks may use technology to send, directly to your browser, the advertisements and links that appear on the Word Engine websites. They may automatically receive your IP address when this happens. They may also use other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) to measure the effectiveness of their advertisements and to personalize the advertising content.

Lexxica does not provide any personally identifiable information to any third party ad servers or ad networks without your consent. However, please note that if a sponsor or advertiser asks Lexxica to present an advertisement to a certain audience (for example, people ages 18-24) and a User responds to that advertisement, the advertiser or ad-server may conclude that the User fits the description of the audience they are trying to reach.

You should consult the respective privacy policies of any third party ad servers or ad networks that you visit. Lexxica's PRIVACY POLICY does not apply to, and we cannot control the activities of, the sponsors or other advertisers and their websites.
