A cookie is a block of text placed in a file on the user's hard drive by a Web site you've visited. These types of cookies cannot identify an individual user specifically, such as by name or address, unless the cookie data is attached to personally identifiable information such as online registration. Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's use cookies to observe our site visitor's navigation throughout the site. This helps us identify ways to improve the shopping experience.

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's also use a session cookie, which is a piece of identification between your browser and our server, which helps to do things like keep track of the items in a user's shopping cart, and other information. The shopping cart cookie is saved for a designated period of time in case the users' session expires or they return to complete a purchase within that time frame. For the convenience of our users, we also place a cookie on the user's computer when they log in to our talk forums. This gives the advantage of not having to log back in when moving between the talk forums and the rest of the site.
