repeatedly click the back arrow in a blind panic
while muttering "there's no place like the home page" to return from whence you came!

Cookie PolicyScan Basics uses cookies. This page contains our Cookie Policy for our website at www.scanbasics.com (our "Website"). This Cookie Policy describes our cookie and ways to control cookies. By accessing or using our Website, you are accepting and agreeing to the practices described in this policy. About CookiesCookies are tiny text files created by websites and stored with web browsers.Two common types of cookies are session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are used while browsing from page to page on the same website, but are deleted when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies are used by a website to store information about you for future visits to the same website, but are deleted when they reach their expiration date. Cookies are categorized as first-party or third-party. First-party cookies are typically used by the site shown in the address bar to remember information about you (such as log-in details) so you don't have to re-enter this information on future visits. Third-party cookies are typically used by advertisers to remember your responses to ads so they can show you more personalized ads on future visits. In addition to cookies, web pages may contain web beacons (aka page tags, web bugs, tracking bugs, etc). Web beacons are often tiny transparent images (aka pixel tags, 1x1 gifs, clear gifs, etc) but can be other html tags including script tags. Web beacons can be used to collect information such as your IP (internet protocol) address, your ISP (internet service provider), and your browser.
