Shares of DoubleClick(DCLK), Engage Technologies (ENGA) and 24/7 Media Inc.(TFSM) rose Friday after those companies and other Internet advertisers agreed to regulate the personal information they collect about Web consumers. The news revived -- at least temporarily -- stocks that have drooped in recent months. Shares of New York-based DoubleClick rose 2 13/16, or 8.3%, closing finally at 36 7/8 in Nasdaq trading, while Engage added 1 5/32, or 12.5%, to 10 7/16. Mirroring its peers, 24/7 Media shot up 13/16, or 7.3%, to 11 15/16. The deal, worked out between the Network Advertising Initiative and the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday, is aimed at giving Web users a say in how their personal data is used by online marketing firms.TheStreet Premium Services For Personal Service: 877-471-2967
