Current concerns with cookies
There are many legitimate uses for cookies to enhance convenience and efficiency. However, some uses of cookies can lead to privacy concerns.These concerns typically emerge when a cookie holds personal information identifying you (e.g. a person"s name, e-mail address, billing information, address or similar), or is used across multiple sites to track users and internet usage.
Digital Assets does not use any of its first-party cookies to hold any personal information or track users across multiple sites. On some of our sites (ShowbizSites.com and ShowbizSupermarket.com) we use third party social sharing tools that set third-party cookies, which allows you to share content via social networks.
Other concerns some users have are around privacy, and in particular those third party cookies which are generated by advertisers which track browsing activity across different sites. For all cookies, there are steps that you can take to manage your user preferences on how these are set.
