It is your responsibility to refer to and comply with these updated terms and conditions upon accessing the site. Your continued use of this site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of these terms and conditions as modified.
If these Terms of Use are not accepted in full, you do not have permission to access the contents of this site or to upload content to this site and you should cease using this site immediately. If there is any conflict between these Terms of Use and rules and/or specific terms of use appearing on this site relating to specific material, then the latter shall prevail.

PRIVACY
cg+news respects the privacy of its users. Everyone always says these things in these documents, but we really mean it.
cg+news will not share personally identifiable information about you with any third-party except as required by law, or as is necessary to fulfill its obligations under these Terms (i.e. to facilitate advertising revenue share payment).
cg+news‘s service includes a demographic data collection system. As part of this system cg+news may ask you questions about yourself (like your age, interests or zip code). Your answers to these questions may be stored on your computer and transmitted to cg+news from time to time. cg+news will never store this information on its servers in a way that’s relatable to you or your identity, instead the information will only be stored and operated on in an aggregate way. That said, cg+news may transmit some of your answers to its advertising partners at the time advertisements are served to you. We do this in order to deliver the most relevant advertisements possible.
In addition to specific questions we may ask you, we will also record information about your use of the site that may include your IP (Internet Protocol) address and the pages and videos you have visited. This information may be shared with other users and our partners in an aggregate form that is designed to not be individually identifiable.
