St
Louis Scale Privacy and Security Policy
Depending
on what you do when you visit any web site, you are providing information
about your visit to the site's owners. This includes stlouisscale.com.
We value privacy and think you do too, so we want you to
have the information you need to make your own decisions about your
personal privacy. When you visit or supply information to
any web site, we think it's a good idea for you to first understand
what that site's privacy policies are. If the site doesn't
tell you, don't hesitate to ask.
The bottom line
at www.stlouisscale.com and its related sites (collectively "stlouisscale.com")
is that we use the information that we get from your visit for internal
tracking purposes, to make stlouisscale.com as useful and interesting
to you as we can, and to respond to and fulfill your requests for
information, products or other services. Except as specifically
noted, we do not use the information that we collect from stlouisscale.com
for any other purpose or share it with any third party.

Browsing and the use of Cookies:
Stlouisscale.com uses cookie technology as part of our web site's
statistical reporting. A cookie is a small piece of information
sent by a website that is saved on your hard disk by your computer's
browser. It holds information a site may need to personalize
your experience (i.e., rotating images on stlouisscale.com home
page) and to gather web site statistical data, such as which pages
are visited, what is downloaded, the internet provider's domain
name and country that our visitors come from (e.g. 'aol.com,' or
'umich.edu') and the addresses of sites visited immediately before,
and after, coming to stlouisscale.com. However, none of this
is associated with you as an individual. It is measured anonymously
and only in aggregate. The information in the cookies lets
us trace your "click stream" activity (i.e., the paths
taken by visitors to our site as they move from page to page).
Cookies do not capture your individual email address or any private
information about you.
We also use
standard web server log files to help us count visitors and evaluate
our site's technical capacity. We use this information to
find out how many people visit stlouisscale.com, help us arrange
the pages in the most user-friendly way, keep the site browser-friendly,
and to make our pages more useful to our visitors. We record
information on site traffic but not information on individual visitors
to our site, so no information about you in particular will be kept
or used.
To browse without
cookies, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies,
or to notify
you when a cookie is set. (Each browser
is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser
to learn how to change your cookie preferences.)
