What are Cookies and Session IDs?
Cookie Information:
- Cookies contain a short alphanumeric (letters and numbers) segment of information that we transfer to your computer through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to recognize that you are a returning visitor.
- The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of DaisySoap.com's web site features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
- DaisySoap.com Cookies do not contain executable code or scripts, so they cannot be a source of computer viruses.

Does the Daisy Soap Company Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we ARE NOT in the business of selling it to others. The Daisy Soap Company collects enough information to complete the transaction, and we additionally track customer e-mail addresses, but the Daisy Soap Company DOES NOT share or sell that information to other individuals, companies, or organizations in whole or in part.

Our business changes constantly, and our Privacy Policy Notice and the Conditions of Use will change also. You should check our Web site periodically to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy Policy Notice applies to all information that we have about you and your account. We stand behind the promises we make, however, and will never materially change our policies and practices to make them less protective of customer information collected in the past without the consent of affected customers. Policy changes will be posted on this page ( http://www.daisysoap.com/privacy-policy ).
Automatic Information Details
Examples of the information we automatically collect and analyze include your:
- Internet Protocol (IP) Address that was used to connect your computer to the Internet when you visit DaisySoap.com pages. This is used to help to differentiate one visitor from the next, but not to identify each individual. This will help Daisy Soap identify common traffic patterns, and help provide clues for how content in DaisySoap.com may be improved to provide greater value to visitors. In cases of fraudulent orders, the IP address used in the transaction will be turned over to law enforcement to be used to help track down the fraudulent purchaser.
- Other Computer and Connection Information such as Browser Type and Version, Operating System, and Platform is recorded. This information is used to determine the compatibility requirements for DaisySoap.com for the configurations Daisy Soap Company customers are using.
- E-Mail Address, which is only collected if a visitor deliberately provides the address. Daisy Soap does not collect the address without the customers' knowledge, and does not purchase e-mail lists from third-party entities. Daisy Soap wants to avoid contributing to the already problematic SPAM epidemic.
- Purchase History
- Browsing Pattern Data, which includes the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL - sometimes referred to as a "Web Address") for:
- Each page visited within DaisySoap.com
- The external page that delivered the visitor to DaisySoap.com (usually called the Referrer URL)
- The click-through link to an external web site from a link within DaisySoap.com. In other words, if a DaisySoap.com visitor clicks on a link within DaisySoap.com to another web site, we can identify that the visitor followed the link. Daisy Soap will not necessarily do this with all out-bound links.
- Cookie Number or Session ID
- During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript or other scripting languages to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, and methods used to browse away from the page.
Information from Other Sources
The Daisy Soap Company does verify that the shipping address provided for orders are valid addresses using a USPS database. The Daisy Soap Company will use the contact information provided with the order to verify anomalies that may come up as a result of this verification process.
Third-Party Advertisers and Links to Other Web Sites
The Daisy Soap Company may allow third-party advertisers to post ads on DaisySoap.com web pages. We do not provide any personally identifiable customer information to these advertisers or third-party web sites. In these cases, if a DaisySoap.com visitor clicks on one of the ads, their browser will be sent to the other web site. Information regarding the page that the visitor came from (known as the "Referrer URL"), may be available to the web site receiving the visitor. The Daisy Soap Company has no control of what additional information the receiving web site may track, or how they will use that information. In the case of advertising programs such as Google Adsense, the company offering the advertising service will likely be recording click-through information that will be used to bill the receiving business running the ad for delivering a visitor to the receiving web site. More information regarding Google Adsense and Adwords programs are available on the Google web site.
Daisy Soap Company Purchases Made Without DaisySoap.com
Some Daisy Soap orders can be placed without using the DaisySoap.com web site. For example, the Daisy Soap Company does periodically appear at Texas local fairs and craft shows. In those cases, the Daisy Soap Company accepts Cash, Personal Check ($50 limit), MasterCard, and Visa. In these cases, the Daisy Soap Company does collect information such as credit card number or bank account information for the purposes of filling the order. That information IS NOT entered into the DaisySoap.com database. Also, the Daisy Soap Company DOES NOT sell or share the information collected for these transactions with other individuals, companies, or organizations beyond what is needed to process payment for the transaction.
