   • No Tracking of Personal Information. Scout’s Web Site(s) are not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors.

The cookie is then stored on customer’s computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer’s computer, but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by Scout’s or its third-party vendors. Customer can set its browser to notify customer before a cookie is received, giving an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. Customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some Web sites may not then work properly.
   • Use of Web Beacon Technologies. Scout’s may also use Web beacon or other technologies to better tailor its Web site(s) to provide better customer service. If these technologies are in use, when a visitor accesses these pages of the Web site, a non-identifiable notice of that visit is generated which may be processed by Scout’s or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customer does not want cookie information to be associated with customer’s visits to these pages, customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, Web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.
   • Collection of Non-Identifiable Information. Scout’s may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the Scout’s Web site(s) in order to provide better customer service. Examples of such collecting include traffic analysis, such as tracking of the domains from which users visit, or tracking numbers of visitors; measuring visitor activity on Scout’s Web site(s); Web site and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as “clickstream data.” Scout’s or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.
   • Collection of Personal Information. Scout’s collects personal identifying information from customer during a transaction. Scout’s may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data.
