1. USE AND COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies

Like most companies, REI uses cookies and similar tools (“cookies”) on the Sites to facilitate and improve your online experience. Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer's hard drive.

Our Websites do NOT use any technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and from across third-party websites or other online services (e.g., behavioral tracking).

REI does not track its customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.

If you are visiting such sites, Safari allows you to set the DNT signal on your browser so that third parties (particularly advertisers) know you do not want to be tracked.

Third parties that have content embedded on REI’s websites such as a social feature or a video clips may set cookies on a user’s browser and/or obtain information about the fact that a web browser visited a specific REI website from a certain IP address.
