This site also uses Google Analytics to track visitor statistics. This information is recorded in log files and used to analyze trends (e.g., which search engines and keywords were used to find this site, which pages are most popular, etc.), administer the site (e.g., find broken links), track users' movement through the site, and gather broad demographic information (e.g., users' country of origin). None of this information is linked to personally identifiable information or shared with any outside parties.

Advertising & Cookies

A cookie is a piece of data (in the form of a small text file) stored on a computer user's hard drive and containing information about the user.

Some sites track your browsing preferences so they can display advertising that matches your interests, etc.

Tombraiders.net does not use cookies. However, the advertisements on tombraiders.net do use cookies, as well as javascript code, to track which ads a user clicks and to identify tombraiders.net as the site responsible for "click-throughs" to an advertiser's site.
