Introduction
This Notice supplements our Privacy Policy. It explains the types of browser cookies and other online tracking technologies (collectively, “Cookies”) that ScoutingZone and its partners useon the Company’s website, www.scoutingzone.com, mobile app, and other online services (collectively, the “Website”), and other online services provided by or on behalf of ScoutingZone. This Notice also explains related rights and choices you have.
What is a “Cookie”?
A traditional cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device when you visit or use a website. Cookies are used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). Cookies ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in.
Cookies may be set by the web domain of the site that you are visiting, which we refer to as “first party cookies.” Some cookies may be set by a third party web domain other than the site that you are visiting, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services to the owner of the website, which we refer to as “third party cookies”.
Websites and emails may also contain pixels (also known as web beacons), which can track your activity across different sites or report how you interact with emails or other online content. These are typically small transparent images that provide the party placing them with statistics and usage data, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your device in the same way as cookies. As a result, if you disable cookies in your browser settings, tracking pixels may still load, but their functionality may be restricted.
When you visit or use a website that uses cookies, or interact with an email or other online content that contains a web beacon, your browser or device sends a request to the party that placed that Cookie. In doing so, your browser or device may automatically provide your IP address, browsing data, or other Personal Information to that party. Our Privacy Policy explains how ScoutingZone collects, uses and shares Personal Information.
