So there ARE cookies, but they ARN'T third-party cookies.It says 'We do not have any third-party content, advertising, OR cookies'
It doesn't say anything about third-party cookies. I know that's what it means, I am merely pointing out that they made a mistake.Yeah it looks funny, but imagine if it said
We do not have any third-party content, third-party advertising, or third-party cookies

If I was dead, that's what I would be doing.

Re: Mistake in the Scratch Privacy Policy
Read it again. It says we will not put any THIRD PARTY cookies. That means ones that hurt your computer or are just spamming it up.

No it doesn't how many times do I have to say it, this is what it says:
'We do not have any third-party content, advertising, OR cookies'
Tell me where it says anything about third-party cookies.

Say that it's this way:
"We do not have any third-party content, third-party advertising or third-party cookies"
Most people would type it in the way it is in the policy.

Re: Mistake in the Scratch Privacy Policy
Both statements are correct in proper English terms.
Say I said "I have milk" and then I said "I don't have his apple, carrot or milk".. I wouldn't be saying "I don't have milk".
It's what the privacy policy is saying, Scratch has cookies (as does every website that requires you to log in), but they don't have other website's cookies.

It is gramatically correct actually.
If you begin a DIFFERENT sentence, and then refer to someones belongings. It counts as belonging to them, in this case, third-parties.
If I said. "His bag, shoe and coat", I'm not saying he only owns a bag. While I admit it could sound confusing, the Scratch Team haven't made any mistakes

Ah, but you see, 'third party cookies', would come under the heading of 'third party content'. If your sentence had said 'His belongings, shoes and coat', it would be implying that his shoe and coat were not his belongings.

Re: Mistake in the Scratch Privacy Policy
Even with belongings, that sentence would make sense, just very badly.
However, think of the Third-party as a person, they are different company's, so it makes perfect sense.
Read it as 'We do not have any of Jamie's content, advertising, OR cookies'
See how it makes sense with an actual name? Third-parties are groups, so they can own cookies.

Re: Mistake in the Scratch Privacy Policy
Thanks for bringing this up. It's true that our privacy policy was a bit unclear with regards to "third party content". We've made a minor change to help clarify things. Scratch On!
Help Scratchers make the leap to 2.0!
