We and our service providers use cookies, web beacons, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to operate and improve the Website, remember your preferences, analyze traffic, and support advertising. These tools may include:
- Essential cookies needed for the Website to function (such as keeping items in your shopping cart and remembering your login).
- Analytics cookies such as Google Analytics, which help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it.
- Advertising and retargeting cookies such as those used by Meta/Facebook Pixel and Google Ads, which help us show you Bowlers Depot ads on other websites and social media platforms after you visit our site.
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through your settings. You can block or delete cookies, but doing so may limit the functionality of the Website. Many browsers also support a “Do Not Track” signal; because there is no industry standard for how to respond to these signals, our Website does not currently respond to them.
5. Email Marketing Communications
If you sign up for our email list, place an order, or otherwise opt in, we may send you promotional emails about new products, sales, events, and other updates.

9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide our products and services, fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with our legal and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
