5. Use of Computer Tracking Technologies

(a) No Tracking of Personal Information. Oil and Water's Web Site(s) are not set up to track, collect, or distribute personal information not entered by visitors. Through Web Site access logs Oil and Water does collect clickstream data and HTTP protocol elements, which generate certain kinds of non-identifying site usage data, such as the number of hits and visits to Oil and Water sites. This information is used for internal purposes by technical support staff for research and development, user analysis, and business decision making, all of which provide better services to the public. The statistics garnered, which contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information, may also be provided to third parties.

(b) Use of Cookies. Oil and Water, or its third party vendors, collects non-identifiable and personal information through the use of various technologies, including "cookies." A cookie is an alphanumeric identifier that a web site can transfer to a customer's hard drive through the customer's browser. The cookie is then stored on the customer's computer as an anonymous tag that identifies the customer's computer, but not the customer. Cookies may be sent by Oil and Water or its third party vendors. The customer can set its browser to notify the customer before a cookie is received, giving the customer an opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. The customer may also set its browser to turn off cookies; however, some web sites may not then work properly.

(c) Use of Web Beacon Technologies. Oil and Water 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 Oil and Water or by its suppliers. Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If a customer does not want cookie information to be associated with the customer's visits to these pages, the 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.

(d) Collection of Non-Identifiable Information. Oil and Water may collect non-identifiable information from user visits to the Oil and Water 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 Oil and Water Web Site(s); Web Site and system administration; user analysis; and business decision making. Such information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." Oil and Water or its contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.

(e) Collection of Personal Information. Oil and Water collects personal identifying information from a customer during a transaction. Oil and Water 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. This information is used and analyzed only at an aggregate level (not at an individual level) to help Oil and Water understand trends and patterns. This information is not reviewed at an individual level.
