Content or materials you upload and any other information you submit to the Website will be posted along with additional personally identifiable information. Therefore, you must exercise caution and common sense when submitting these content materials or information. At the very least, you should demonstrate the same degree of caution as when publishing personal data by means other than the Internet and cellular services.

AFPI keeps track of your surfing and browsing of the Website and its Linked Sites, collects information about your use of the Website, and may collect information about the services that you use and how you use them, like when you visit different parts of the Website or view its sponsored content, and what selections you make.

Cookies
AFPI may install "cookies" to help you personalize your experience with the Website. A “cookie” is an HTTP file that is placed on your browser by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by the web page server of the Website that issued the cookie to you.

Unless you have changed your browser setting to decline the cookie, if you continue to use the Website, the cookie will be automatically installed.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time by informing the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the website pages or register with Linked Sites or services, a cookie helps the Website to recall your behavioral information on subsequent visits. When you return to the Website, your behavioral information from your previous visits can be retrieved, so the Website and its features can be customized based on your data.
