aggregated tracking information
derived mainly by tallying page

tailor our content to readers'
needs and help our advertisers
better understand the
demographics of our audience.
Because Nikkoid.com derives a
portion of its revenue from
advertising, providing such
aggregated demographic data is
essential in order to keep some

software titles that are
available through the online
store:

tracking customer software
registrations and providing
technical support, as is the
standard practice in the
industry.

does not provide this
information to any other third
parties under any circumstances.
