A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting.

Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache.

For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website.

RC Helicopters are not toys! They can be dangerous to your health and those around you.

Risks go up substantially when getting complacent & overly comfortable and ignoring common sense.

RC Helicopter Fun.com will not be held responsible or liable for, but not limited to, injuries of any sort, crashes, and property damage that were caused directly or indirectly as a result of this website, my eBooks, or by any third party site's products, advertising, information, recommendations, or suggestions.

Flying RC Aircraft is a PRIVILEGE, not a RIGHT!
