Q. Why are cookies used on Kim's site?

A. Cookies help us understand which areas are popular and which need improvement. Read our Privacy Policy for further details.


Q. Are Web bugs used on Kim's site?

A. No. Web bugs are tiny images embedded in Web pages. They track a user's online activities. This site uses small, static images as design elements only. Some security programs may misidentify such images as Web bugs.

Q. Does Kim endorse the Google ads in the Google ad boxes?

A. No. There is a disclaimer under all Google ads on the site noting that Kim does not endorse Google advertisers. Kim only endorses products with which she is familiar. Most of the companies that advertise through Google—and their products—are not known to her.

Q. If Kim does not endorse the companies and their products, why does she run the ads?

A. Producing Kim's free Web site is a massive undertaking. A huge amount of professional-quality information is generated weekly to fill it. The advertising is necessary to support the site.

Q. Some of the ads seem misleading. Can't they be screened?

A. Many new Google advertisers sign up through Google each day. Google apparently does not screen them. However, we kick advertisers off our site when our customers complain. Should you have a complaint, please report it here. Remember to include the full name of the advertiser and its Web address, if possible. We will remove ads with inappropriate or misleading content.

Q. How can I complain to Google about misleading ads?

A. Fill out this complaint form.
