As discussed in greater detail within this Cookie Policy and our corresponding Cookie Chart, our collection of data through the use of these technologies helps us to provide you with a better experience when you browse our Website and also allows us to improve our Website.

Scout uses cookies and related technologies as automatic data collection tools that collect information, including in some instances personal information, from users of its Website. Third parties also place these tools on our Website to collect and process information about our users for various purposes, including for security and analytics. These tools include Google reCAPTCHA and Google Analytics. Please carefully review the linked information associated with each tool, which is also set forth below.

By visiting our Website, you consent to Scout's use of cookies as detailed in this Cookie Policy. Please visit our Cookie Chart, below, for further details about which cookies we use in connection with our Website. Except for strictly necessary or essential cookies, all cookies will expire after the associated period identified in the Cookie Chart. If you have any questions or concerns about our use of cookies, please send us an email at customerprivacy@scoutmotors.com.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file that we store on your browser or the hard drive of your computer. They are used to make websites function and to collect information to facilitate more secure, efficient, and customized user experiences. Cookie use is standard for most websites.

Scout uses three types of cookies in connection with our Website:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Website. These essential cookies are always enabled because our Website won’t work properly without them. You can switch off these cookies in your browser settings but you may then not be able to access all or parts of our Website.

• Statistics cookies. These allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our Website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.

• Functional Cookies. These add functionality to the Website to enhance our Website and our visitors' user experience. For instance, functional cookies may obtain information from Website users to enhance the Website's security.

We use cookies in connection with our Website for the purposes of furthering security and analytics. We, or our service providers on our behalf, use the technologies described above for the following purposes.

Security

Cookies support our Website's security features, helping to make your experience with our Website more secure. For instance, we can use cookie data to help identify malicious or illegal behavior or other activity which violates our terms of use.

Analytics

We want to provide you with features that interest you. Cookies allow us to determine which aspects of our Website are more (or less) popular with our users. We can use that information to understand and improve upon our Website, as well as to develop new features to serve you better. Such usage information forms the basis for reports generated to provide us aggregated information about the utilization of our Website.

Yes. Please note that, as identified in our Cookie Chart, third parties also use cookies in connection with our Website. These named third parties may include, for example, providers of external services like web traffic analysis services. Select third-party technologies, as reflected in the comprehensive Cookie Chart, include the following:

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”), provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"), on our Website. The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to keep our Website as secure as possible by checking whether data that enters our system – for example, through a web form – is provided by a human individual as opposed to spamming software or other robot. To make this determination for this purpose, reCAPTCHA collects and reviews various aspects of the Website user's activity. This assessment automatically begins when our user enters the Website. For the purpose of confirming human activity, reCAPTCHA assesses various information that it collects – including, without limitation, IP address, browser information cursor activity, and time spent on the Website. reCAPTCHA will also place an additional cookie in your browser upon its assessment of your activity and take a snapshot of your browser window. Data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

Please note that the reCAPTCHA collection, assessment, and other processing runs completely in the background. While reCAPTCHA processing is noted for our users both here and in our Privacy Policy, Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place when it occurs. As opposed to former CAPTCHA versions, which required website visitors to identify images, solve puzzles, or check a box, reCAPTCHA assesses and scores user input for human origin without any such affirmative behavior from the user.

Our goal in using the reCAPTCHA tool is to protect the Website, and users of the Website, from bots, spam, and other such unapproved and potentially malicious activity. If you want to prevent any data about you and your behavior to be transmitted to Google, you must log out of Google and delete all Google cookies before visiting our Website or using the reCAPTCHA software. Please visit the following page to obtain more information about reCAPTCHA: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/. Additional information on Google reCAPTCHA can be found at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html, and Google's privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

Google Analytics

Our Website uses Google Analytics, provided by Google. This web analytics program collects and generates information, through cookie placement, about your use of the Website. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our Website, to compile reports on Website activity and to provide us with other services related to Website activity and internet usage. The IP address provided to us by Google Analytics will not be merged with other data that Google provides to us.

If you would like to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data, you can prevent this collection by utilizing the opt-out tool that Google makes available at the following site: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. If you use this tool, an opt-out cookie will be placed to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your information.
