What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed in your computer browser directories to store your information about your use of the BaskinRobbins.com and your activities online (collectively, “Cookies”). A Cookie will typically contain the name of the domain (internet location) from which the Cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the Cookie (i.e. when does it expire), and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number. To find out more about Cookies, including how to see what Cookies have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

How We Use Cookies

We use Cookies so that we can improve your online experience – for example, by remembering you when you come back to visit us, and making the content you see more relevant to you. Cookies also enable us to track online purchases made through BaskinRobbins.com.

Your Control of Cookies

If you do not wish to receive Cookies or wish to manage when you accept Cookies in general, you may set your browser to reject Cookies or to alert you when a Cookie is placed on your computer. Although you are not required to accept our Cookies, if you set your browser to reject Cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features and functionality of BaskinRobbins.com. For example, you may not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any products and services that require you to sign in.

Online Advertising

BaskinRobbins.com also use Cookies and other technologies such as pixel tags (collectively) to help manage our online advertising program. These Data Collection Technologies are provided by our ad management partners and other third parties.
In addition, we and our ad management partners may use these Data Collection Technologies to track the actions of users of BaskinRobbins.com, to measure statistics of our marketing efforts, and to deliver advertisements on BaskinRobbins.com that may be more relevant to individual consumers and that will improve the consumer experience on the BaskinRobbins.com. For example, if you give us your zip code and we thus know you live in an area where a particular in-store promotion is going on (such as a new snack offering), we may deliver to you an advertisement that is specific to that promotion.

We support the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“Principles”). This means that we allow you to exercise choice regarding the collection of information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites for online interest based advertising purposes.

Opting Out of Interest-Based Advertisements

If you want to “opt out” of receiving online interest-based advertisements, please follow the instructions at www.aboutads.info/choices orhttp://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. An “opt-out” Cookie will be placed on your device indicating that you do not want to receive interest-based advertisements. Opt-out Cookies only work on the internet browser they are downloaded onto. If you want to opt-out of interest-based advertisements across all of your browsers, you will need to opt-out on each browser you actively use. If you delete Cookies on your device generally, you will need to opt-out again.

Please note that when you “opt-out” of receiving interest-based advertisements, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on the BaskinRobbins.com. It means that the online ads that you do see will not be based on your particular interests.

In addition, please note that certain third parties that we do not control may use Data Collection Technologies on the BaskinRobbins.com. When you “opt-out” of receiving interest-based advertisements through one of the links above, these Data Collection Technologies may still collect information about your use of the BaskinRobbins.com, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the Principles. When we use the term “Data Collection Technologies” we are referring to any technology that collects information about your use of the BaskinRobbins.com and potentially about your activities when you leave the Services and visit other sites on the Internet.
