Cookies
AdMonsters uses cookies. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies.

Persistent cookies can be removed by following Internet browser help file directions. By setting a cookie on AdMonsters, users will not have to log in a password more than once. We store a cookie on each user's machine that contains a username and password. You can configure your browser to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or notify you when a cookie is set. If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to use AdMonsters products or services that require you to "sign in," and you may not be able to take full advantage of all offerings.
