to remember specific information about your session while connected. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are
uniquely assigned to you and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. For example, if you personalize an National Script Web page or register with
an National Script site or service, a cookie helps National Script to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal
information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same National Script Web site, the information you previously provided can
be retrieved, so you can easily use the National Script features that you customized.

cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the National Script services or Web sites you
visit.
National Script may link to other Web sites created and maintained by other public and/or private organizations. National Script provides links to those Web sites as a service to our
users. The presence of a link is not a National Script endorsement of the Web site.
When users follow a link to an outside Web site, they are leaving National Script and are subject to the privacy and security policies of the owners/sponsors of the outside
Web site(s). National Script is not responsible for information collection practices on non-National Script Web sites.
National Script will occasionally update this Privacy Statement to reflect company and customer feedback. National Script encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be
informed of how National Script is protecting your information.
National Script welcomes your comments regarding this Privacy Statement. If you believe that National Script has not adhered to this Statement, please contact National Script at (855) 628-2100. We
