Cookies and Other Technologies
Bolt Expo’s website, online services, interactive applications, email messages and advertisements may use a variety of technologies, now and hereafter devised, that automatically collect certain website usage information whenever you visit or interact with the Website. Website usage information may be collected by various methods, including “cookies” and other technologies such as pixel tags, web beacons, mobile device identifiers and embedded scripts. Cookies are small data files that are placed on your Device when it is used to visit our website. We cannot use them to identify you and thus the information collected is treated as nonpersonal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information. Similarly, to the extent that non-personal information is combined with personal information, we treat the combined information as personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. Cookies allow website managers to adapt materials to your computer and include information such as what pages you visited, how often you visited them, what your preferences may be, and they may enable certain features on this Site. Most web browsers accept cookies, but you may be able to adjust your browser settings to not allow them or to let you know when they are being sent. Your use of some features on this Site may be limited if you disable cookies.
Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format our customers can read, and they tell us whether the email has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate the number or type of messages sent to our customers. Web beacons are small graphic images or other web programming code inserted into a web page or email that count visitors to the Website, monitor how users navigate the Website, count how many emails that were sent are actually opened or count how many particular articles or links were actually viewed. Certain mobile service providers uniquely identify mobile devices and we or our third party service providers may receive such device information if you access the Website through mobile devises Certain features of our Website may require collection of mobile phone numbers, and we may associate that phone number to mobile device identification information. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Website, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Computer from our web server or a third-party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Website and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
As is true of most websites, we gather some information automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp and clickstream data. We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Bolt Expo may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.
In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on our Website. When customers click one of these URLs, they pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our Website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
Bolt Expo and its partners use cookies and other technologies in mobile advertising services to control the number of times you see a given ad, deliver ads that relate to your interests, and measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns. If you do not want to receive ads with this level of relevance on your mobile device, you can opt out by accessing the following link on your device: [insert email address]. If you opt out, you will continue to receive the same number of mobile ads, but they may be less relevant because they will not be based on your interests. You may still see ads related to the content on a web page or in an application or based on other non-personal information. This opt-out applies only to Bolt Expo’s advertising services and does not affect interest-based advertising from other advertising networks.
Bolt Expo’s Communications
On occasion, Bolt Expo may send our customers and website visitors electronic communications, including but not limited to newsletters, bulletins, status updates, account verifications, or other communications such as marketing information. Bolt Expo may also send information via email regarding website updates, shipping information, or other general topics.
