Cookies, Clickstream Technology, Third-Party Ad Providers and Interest-Based Advertising

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that a Web site or an e-mail may save to your browser, which may then be stored on your hard drive. Our Web sites and e-mails use cookies to create a more personalized shopping experience for visitors to our site. Cookies simulate a continuous connection — they let us "remember" information about your preferences and session, and allow you to move within areas of our Web sites without reintroducing yourself.

Battery House uses a third party to place cookies on your computer to collect non-personally identifiable information. Although our cookies may contain a unique user ID, they do not collect or store any personally identifiable information. However, you do have the option of saving your Reward Zone membership ID in the cookie so it is easy to remember next time; this option will be found under My Account.

You may choose to set your Web browser to not accept cookies. However, without enabling your cookies, you will not be able to view, create an account, or make purchases on the Battery House Web site.

Clickstream Technology

Our Web server automatically collects clickstream information such as the address (or URL) of the Web site that you came from before visiting our site, which pages you visit on our site, which browser you used to view our site and any search terms you may have entered on our site, among other things.

Our Web site may also use other technologies to track which pages our visitors view. This anonymous clickstream data provides our customers with a better, more secure shopping experience and helps Battery House understand how visitors use our Web site.

Third-Party Ad Providers and Interest-Based Advertising

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site or other sites across the Internet. These companies may use their tracking technologies and cookies to collect anonymous information (not including your name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other Web sites. We may also share anonymous information with these companies in aggregate form. In either case, the purpose of the sharing is to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you, analyzing and improving the effectiveness of ads and e-mails, and improving and enhancing our site and its content.



We may partner with other companies to provide interest-based advertising, both on and off BatteryHouse.com. In these situations, we will notify you of the advertising and give you the opportunity to opt-out of these activities.
