how our site collects and uses and safeguards your personal
information you provide to MercantilePortland.com.
What Information Do We Collect and How Do We Use it?
When you visit this site you may provide MercantilePortland.com
with two types of information: personal information you actively
choose to disclose ("Active Information") through
contacting MercantilePortland.com, and use information collected,
in a way not visible to you, on an aggregate anonymous basis
as you and others browse this site ("Passive Information").

Passive Information
Collected
Our site utilizes a standard technology called "cookies"
to collect information about how this site is used. Passive
Information gathered might include the date and time of visits,
the site pages viewed, time spent at this site, the sites
visited just before and just after this site. Passive Information
is collected on an aggregate basis without any association
to your personal information so that you remain anonymous.
If you do not wish to transmit "cookie" information
about yourself, you may turn off the cookie function in your
web browser; please consult the "Help" section of
your browser to correctly do so.
We use Passive Information to gather information and to enhance
and design this site to make it easier, faster and friendlier
to use. Additionally, cookies help MercantileShop.com know
information about how many people visit this site, when they
visit and how they use this site. We do not connect any of
this information to your personal information or email address.

the computer used to access a site. They are small pieces
of data that are stored by a user's web browser on one site
to simplify subsequent interactions with that site by the

over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience
easier and more personalized.
