providing information about yourself. We do not require you to

proposals from individual third party real estate
professionals. When registering and submitting a request for
more information from an ePropertiesFollyBeach partner about a property or
service that you see on ePropertiesFollyBeach.com, you will be asked to provide

Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information or files that are stored
on a user's computer by the web server through a user's browser
for record keeping purposes. A cookie is not designed or
intended to read any information from your computer, other than
the contents of the cookie. It is an identifier used by
the web site that originally placed it your hard drive. The
actual contents of the cookie information can be retrieved by
the same site's web server in order to personalize, oversee, or
regulate the use of the site.
We use cookies for various reasons. We may use cookies to store
some history about the parts of ePropertiesFollyBeach.com that you have visited
to help you navigate through our site without difficulty or to
inform you of related pages on ePropertiesFollyBeach.com that may
appeal to you. We do not
use cookies to obtain information on other web sites that you
may visit. Users have the choice, within their Internet
browsers, to disable cookies and continue to access ePropertiesFollyBeach.com.
However, some portions of the site or functions of our services
may not be accessible without the use of cookies.
Web Beacons/Pixel Tags
A Web beacon or pixel tag, also known as a "Web bug," is a
small, graphic image on a Web page, Web-based document or in an
e-mail message that is designed to allow the site owner or a
third party to monitor who is visiting a site. Web beacons are
often invisible to the user because they are typically very
small (only 1-by-1 pixel) and the same color as the background
of the Web page, document or e-mail message. Web beacons are
represented as HTML IMG tags in the Web page; users can click on
"view profiles" of the web page to see whether the page is using
a web beacon.
Web beacons collect the IP address of the computer that the Web
beacon is sent to, the URL of the page the Web beacon comes from
and the time it was viewed. Web beacons can also be linked to
personal information. For example, advertising networks may use
Web beacons to add information to a personal profile of what
sites a person is visiting and to determine what banner ads to
display based on the profile. Another use of Web beacons is to
provide an independent accounting of how many people have
visited a particular Web site. Web beacons are also used to
gather statistics about Web browser usage at different places on
the Internet.
We may use Web beacons on ePropertiesFollyBeach.com or in our email messages. Our
Web beacons allow us to count users who have visited our web
pages, and to compile aggregated statistics about site usage.
Our Web beacons collect only a limited set of information,
including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a
description of the page on which the pixel tag resides. We may
also permit third parties to place them on
ePropertiesFollyBeach.com to monitor
the effectiveness of advertising or for other lawful purposes.
