Introduction

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE WEBSITE.

Cookies

A “cookie” is a small data file that a website can place on a computer’s hard drive in order, for example, to collect information about user activities on the accessed website or to make it easier to use certain website functions. Many users do not know that “cookies” are being placed on their computers when they visit websites.

Contact information will be used or shared with the contest or survey sponsors (if applicable) to notify the winners and award prizes. Anonymous survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of the Fresno Chaffee Zoo and our Site. ZooCorp may use a third party to conduct these surveys or contests. These third parties may not use Users’ personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
