How We Respond To Do-Not-Track Signals & Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms
A “do-not-track” signal is a privacy preference feature in some web browsers that tells a website that a user does not want their online activity to be tracked. We currently support Do Not Track (“DNT”) and Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), specifications designed to allow internet users to notify businesses of their privacy preferences, such as whether or not they want to be tracked or have their personal information sold or shared with third parties for targeted advertising. These specifications consist of a setting or extension in the user’s browser or mobile device and act as mechanisms that our websites can use to honor your privacy settings. If your browser or device has enabled DNT or GPC, it will override your preferences selected in the cookie banner or privacy settings on this Site.
You can learn more about DNT by clicking here. GPC is available for an increasing number of browsers and browser extensions, click here to view the options. If you want to use GPC, you can download and enable it via a participating browser or browser extension. More information about downloading GPC can be found by clicking here.

We are not responsible for the website, privacy practices or content of any third-party. If you have any questions about how these other sites use your information, you should review their policies and contact them directly.
Security
We implement reasonable security measures to ensure the security of your personal information. However, no data transmissions over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure by nature. Consequently, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you understand that any information that you transfer to us is done at your own risk. We may attempt to notify you electronically of any security system breach so that you can take appropriate steps. By using the Services or providing personal information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy and administrative issues relating to your use of the Services.

If you are under thirteen (13) years old, please do not provide any information on our Sites or through our Services.
Use of Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies and other similar technologies (e.g. web beacons, tracking pixels, scripts, fingerprinting, and local storage) to deliver content specific to your interests, track your website activity, help our Sites remember you, enhance your online experience with us, and provide you with information you’re most likely to need. Cookies are small pieces of text used to store information on web browsers. Cookies and any technology that serves a similar purpose as a cookie in the context of tracking users/devices, identifying users/devices, processing information that users or their devices send to or through the Site, or building consumer profiles are included in our use of the term “cookie” for the purpose of this Privacy Policy. We, our service providers, or third-parties (e.g., advertisers and social media) may use and/or receive information from “first-party cookies” or “third-party cookies” as described below.
Cookies are first categorized by who places them or who is intended to receive information from them (first-party vs. third party), and secondly by their purpose.
1. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
First-Party Cookies.
First-Party Cookies refer to cookies that are created or placed by us. Many first-party cookies are essential cookies as described below.
Third-Party Cookies.
Third-party cookies refer to any cookie that is created or placed by a third-party. A third-party cookie often (but not always) shares or enables the sharing of information to an entity other than our own Sites.
We employ a holistic approach to determine if a cookie is classified as “first-party” or “third-party” including the domain that creates the cookie; the cookie’s domain attribute; and the domain of the server to which network requests that transmit information related to the cookie are sent. Accordingly, under this definition, even cookies with a first-party domain attribute may be classified as a “third-party cookie” if the cookie is set by, used by, or shared with a third party.
2. Cookie Purpose Categories
Essential Cookies.
Essential cookies refer to cookies that are critical for the functioning of a website. These cookies enable basic features such as page navigation, and access to secure areas of the website. Essential cookies are typically used to maintain a user's session, store authentication information, hold shopping cart items, comply with state or federal laws (e.g., accessibility or cookies preferences), and ensure the security of transactions. Without these cookies, a website may not work, or may not be able to provide certain basic services or features, and its performance may be affected. Essential cookies can be first-party cookies or third-party cookies. Our Sites do not support an inherent mechanism to allow users to opt-out of essential cookies.
Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the Sites to remember choices made by the user, such as language preferences, login details, or region selection, to provide a more personalized experience. These cookies also allow optional functionality, like chat modules, payment calculators, and service scheduling tools, to run. Functional cookies are also used to improve the functionality of the Site, such as by tracking errors. In the absence of these cookies, the website will still function, but certain features or enhancements may not be available or may have limited functionality.
Marketing Cookies: Marketing cookies consist of two subcategories of cookies:
Analytics Cookies. These cookies that collect and transmit analytics and statistical information about how visitors use a website. These cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with their site. The information gathered may include the number of visitors to the site, the pages they visited, the average time spent on the site, and the referring websites. This data is then used to improve the website's performance, content, and user experience. By analyzing visitor behavior, website owners can identify areas that need improvement, optimize their site for better engagement, and make data-driven decisions to enhance their online presence. (Note: not all analytics cookies are used for marketing purposes.)
Targeting Cookies. Also known as targeted advertising cookies and cross-context behavioral advertising cookies, these cookies are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to users based on their interests and browsing behavior. These cookies collect information about a user's online activities (including by uniquely identifying the user and/or user’s browser and device), such as the websites they visit, the pages they view, and the links they click. This data can then be used to create a profile of the user's interests, which allows advertisers to display targeted ads that are more likely to be of interest to the individual. They are also used to limit the number of times an ad is shown and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Targeting cookies can also be used for retargeting, where ads for previously viewed products or services follow the user across different websites. The purpose of targeting cookies is to improve the effectiveness of online advertising by showing users ads that are more aligned with their preferences and interests.
Users may opt-out of cookies as described in the cookie banner that appears when first visiting our Sites. Additionally, users can opt-out of marketing cookies by using a browser or plug-in that supports Do Not Track (“DNT”) or Global Privacy Control (“GPC”), by submitting an opt-out request (see this Privacy Policy for more info), or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.
Additional Information about Cookies.
Some web browsers offer settings that allow you to choose whether cookies are set by the websites that you visit. These controls vary by browser, but may allow you to disable all cookies, disable cookies for individual websites, or notify you whenever a cookie is set. Please note that if you disable cookies, you may still use our website, but your ability to use some features or areas of the Site may be limited.
Our Sites may use products, such as Google Analytics, to measure how you interact with our Sites and to improve your user experience. For more information on Google Analytics, its privacy practices, and opt-out mechanisms, please visit the Google Analytics Security and Privacy Principles page at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en. For Google’s privacy policy and instructions on opting-out of Google Analytics, please visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
The Network Advertising Initiative also offers a means to opt-out of a number of advertising cookies. To learn more, please visit www.networkadvertising.org. Note that opting-out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It means that the company or companies from which you opted-out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your preferences and usage patterns.
Note that this Site's cookie banner and privacy settings will only opt you out of the future tracking and sharing by cookies that are deployed by our Sites. In order to manage the information sharing and advertising cookies not deployed by our Sites (e.g., other third-party companies' cookies that are already tracking you), you may want to consider using one of the consumer choice tools created under self-regulation programs, such as the US-based https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN choices page.
Dispute Resolution, Arbitration Agreement, Class Action Waiver
Initial Dispute Resolution Procedure
Notice of Dispute, Requirement to Attempt to Resolve Disputes Informally.
By visiting the Sites and/or using the Services you and Dealership agree that if there is any controversy, claim, action, proceeding, demand, or dispute arising out of or related to your visit to the Sites, use of the Services, or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Privacy Policy or any part of it (hereinafter “Dispute”), both you and we shall first try in good faith to resolve such Dispute informally by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) calendar days in which to respond to or resolve the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to us at ATTN: 2400 S 108th St West Allis WI 53227 , and to you at the address or email we have on file for you. Both you and the Dealership agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. This notice and informal resolution requirement will not apply to the extent it is prohibited by law.
Arbitration, Class Action Waiver.
IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE INITIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, WE BOTH AGREE THAT THE DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.
This means that if you and we have a Dispute that is not resolved in the informal process described in section 3.1 above, we both agree to resolve it through arbitration. Arbitration means that a neutral third party will hear both sides and make a decision. This is different from a court trial, where a judge or jury hears the case in a formal court setting and makes a decision. We both agree not to sue each other in court.
This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The arbitration will be before a single arbitrator and the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on both of us.
The arbitration will be held pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association - Consumer Arbitration Rules (if you are a business, the American Arbitration Association - Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply instead) (as applicable, the “Rules”). You can access a copy of the rules at: www.adr.org/rules. The Rules provide the steps required to start an arbitration case.
This arbitration agreement does not apply to Disputes that you or we bring against the other party that are within the jurisdiction of small claims court. If the amount in controversy of a Dispute in small claims court exceeds the jurisdiction of the small claims court, that Dispute will be subject to this arbitration agreement.
Class action waiver. We both agree that any Dispute will be handled individually. This means that you or we cannot join together with other people who have a similar problem to bring a single case against the other party.
