4.3 In some instances, we may combine Non-Identifying Information with Personal Information, such as combining a precise geographical location with your name. If we combine Non-Identifying Information with Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.

- How We Collect Information
6.1 Collection Methods
Dino and its third party service providers may collect both Personal Information and Non-Identifying Information from a variety of sources that generally fall into the following categories:
(a) Direct Interactions. This category is based on your use of and interaction with us through the Channels and other activities such as account creation, submission of registrations and forms, or sales inquiries and transactions.
(b) Publicly Available Data / Data from Third Parties. This category is based on automated interactions on non-Dino websites, or other data you may have made publicly available, such as social media posts, or data provided by third party sources, such as third party marketing opt-in lists, or data aggregators.
(c) Automated Interactions. This category is based on the use of technologies such as electronic communication protocols, cookies, embedded URLs or pixels, or widgets, buttons and tools.
6.2 Automated Collection Methods
Although Dino’s use of automated interactions may change over time as technology evolves, the following descriptions are designed to provide you with additional detail about Dino’s current approach to information collected from automated interactions.
(a) Electronic Communications Protocols. As is true when you visit most websites and apps, Dino may automatically receive information from you as part of the communication connection itself, which often consists of network routing information (where you came from), equipment information (browser type), your IP address (which may identify your general geographic location or company), and date and time.
(b) Tracking. Using log files or other means, Dino may also automatically receive and record information about your interaction with the Channels, such as clickstream information (when each Dino webpage was visited and how much time was spent on the page), general geo-location data, IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
(c) Cookies. Dino’s server may query your browser to see if there are “cookies” previously set by our electronic Channels. A cookie is a small piece of information sent by a web server to store on a web browser so it can later be read back from that browser. Cookies may collect information, including a unique identifier, user preferences, Profile information, membership information, and general usage and volume statistical information. Cookies may also be used to collect individualized website use data, provide electronic Channel personalization, or conduct and measure the effectiveness of advertising in accordance with this Policy. Some cookies may remain on users’ computers after they leave the website. While some cookies are set to expire after a predetermined period following your last visit to the website, other cookies may not expire because of their nature, such as cookies that remember opt-out preferences. We may engage third party service providers to track and analyze both individualized usage and volume statistical information from interactions with electronic Channels. These service providers may set cookies on our behalf. We also may use other third party cookies to provide advertising and personalization services in accordance with this Policy, and to track the performance of our advertisements on their websites and our e-mails.
(d) Embedded URLs. We may use a tracking technique that employs embedded URLs to allow use of the electronic Channels without cookies. Embedded URLs allow limited information to follow you as you navigate the electronic Channels, but are not associated with Personal Information and are not used beyond the session.
(e) Embedded Pixels and Similar Technologies. On the electronic Channels, Dino and its service providers may use embedded pixel technologies for the purposes of identifying unique user visits (as opposed to aggregate hits), and for advertising purposes. In addition, embedded pixels or other technologies may be used in e-mails and our online display advertising to provide information on when the e-mail or ad was opened to track marketing campaign responsiveness; information collected using these technologies may be associated with the recipient’s e-mail address.
(f) Widgets, Web Beacons, Buttons, and Tools. Our electronic Channels may include widgets, which are interactive mini-programs that run on our website to provide specific services from another company (e.g., links to bookmarked sites). Our Channels may also include web beacons, small graphic images, also known as internet tags or clear gifs, that we use for various purposes, including counting the number of visitors, monitoring how visitors navigate through the Channels, and counting the number of views and email openings. Also, our Channels may include buttons or other tools that link to other companies’ services (e.g., a “Like” button or third party map). The widget, button or tool may collect and automatically send Personal Information, such as your e-mail address, or Non-Identifying Information (such as your browser information, or IP address), to a third party. Cookies may also be set or used by the widgets, buttons or tools to enable them to function properly or for other purposes, which may include advertising. Information collected or used by a widget, button or tool, including cookie settings and preferences, is governed by the privacy policy of the company that created it.
(g) Your Physical Location. We may collect the physical location of your device and use it to provide you with personalized location-based services or content. For example, we may use global positioning systems (GPS), geo-filtering and other technologies to track your location for purposes related to providing you with information, content, products or services that are relevant to your particular location. In some instances, you may be permitted to allow or deny such use of your device’s location, but if you choose to deny such use, we may not be able to provide you with the applicable personalized services or content.
- Registration, Preferences, and Opt-Out
7.1 Registration and Preferences
Dino may allow you to establish a registration Profile or user account Profile for your transactions and communication management associated with the Channels. You may use the Profile to customize and control your preferences for receiving electronic information, including any feature that we might implement for opting into (or out of) communities, newsletters and general interest areas. You may return to the registration Profile to change your elections or modify your Profile by logging into your user account. Please login as usual and follow the prompts to update your Profile.

You should keep in mind that: (i) cookies are important to the proper functioning of a website, and disabling them may degrade your experience and interfere with website features and customizations; and (ii) your election to block advertisements and disable other website features may degrade or disable the function of our website for you.
(c) Unavailability of Opt-out.

Some additional communications with partners may also not be subject to opt out, including product alerts, updates, contractual marketing and sales materials, and other notices related to partner status.
