Statement
At Spidescape Descent Systems,
Inc. ("Spidescape"),
we believe that, as our online visitor, you have
a right to know our practices regarding the information
we collect when you visit our website, and what
type of information is collected. The guidelines
contained herein only apply to your visits to www.spidescape.com,
which is operated by Spidescape.
While Spidescape does not generally require that
you provide us with personally identifiable information
in order to visit and use the Spidescape website,
please note that in order to participate in some
activities, it will be necessary for you to provide
this information. If you choose not to provide
it for those activities, you may not be able to
participate in them.
Collection of Information: Cookies; Personal
For each visitor to a Spidescape website, Spidescape's web server automatically
recognizes and stores information, such as the visitor's IP address/domain
name combination and any referring websites. We use this information to understand
visitor traffic patterns through our website for purposes such as enhancing
their usability. Your computer provides this information automatically each
time you log on, unless you've activated blocking technology available in
some browsers.
When you visit a Spidescape website or advertisements
appearing thereon, or use one or more of the Spidescape
website services, we may use an industry-wide technology
called "cookies," which stores certain
information on your computer and which will allow
us to customize your experience to better match
your interests and preferences, or to simply facilitate
your signing in to use the services. Most browsers
will allow you to erase cookies from your computer
hard drive, block acceptance of cookies, or receive
a warning before a cookie is stored. However, if
you block or erase cookies, we may not be able
to restore any preferences or customization settings
you previously specified, and our ability to personalize
your online experience would be limited. Please
refer to your browser instructions or "help" screen
to learn more about these functions.
Also, Spidescape, or third parties on its behalf,
may collect anonymous information from visits to
our sites through the use of "Web Beacons." Web
Beacons are electronic Web Page images that enable
us to record anonymous data about visits to our
web site. This anonymous information is sometimes
known as "clickstream data." We may use
this data to analyze trends and statistics to improve
your online experience, or customer service. No
personal data is collected through the use of Web
Beacons on our sites.
Additionally, Spidescape may ask you to provide "personal
information," meaning individually identifiable
information such as your email address, name, mailing
address, telephone number, or persistent identifier
(such as a customer number held in a cookie) which
is associated with individually identifiable information,
to enable you to participate in chatrooms, blogs,
on bulletin boards, or request information about
ordering products and services or log into your
customer account.
Spidescape may combine the information you provide
on our website with other information we may collect
from you offline or from third parties so that
we can more effectively tailor our website, services
and offerings to you. If you provide Spidescape

companies, changes or amendments to your personal
