You may encounter cookies from third parties on certain pages of the sites that
we do not control. (For example, if you view a web page created by another user,
there may be a cookie placed by that web page.)
We and our users do not tolerate spam. You may not use our platform features such
as ‘Be a friend’ or ‘Recommend MyGarageBook to a friend’ to send spam. We automatically
scan and may manually filter user activity to check for spam, viruses, phishing
attacks and other malicious activity or illegal or prohibited content.
