"Display of Advertising. The Software will run in the background on your computer and will periodically direct you to our sponsors' websites, allowing you to compare prices between websites. While the Software is installed on your computer, Zango may collect information about you and the websites you visit. This information will be used to provide you with comparative shopping opportunities when they are most relevant. By installing and/or using the Software you grant permission for Zango to periodically display sponsors' websites to you. The frequency of these advertisements will vary depending on your use of the Internet. You acknowledge that the Software includes an anonymous user ID and an electronic cookie that enables Zango to display this targeted advertising to you. Identification of Advertisements. The advertisements that the Software presents are provided in a separate browser window and are not endorsed by or affiliated with the websites that trigger their appearance. You can identify the origin of these advertisements by reviewing the web address in the address bar of the advertisement. Advertisements that the Software presents will also usually be branded with the Zango name and identifiable by the title 'Brought to you by Zango' (or similar language) in the title bar of your browser window."

Zango shows on average 2 to 3 websites daily based on the user's browsing activity." A company representative gives the same statement in a forum discussion: "We show, on average, 2-3 ads per day to our users, which is completely reasonable if you are in the shopping mood online. [snip] Our software works off of any search engine. If someone were to search for SportsFanFare it is entirely possible for one of our campaigns to come up in a brand new browser session if that is one of the keywords loaded into our system."
