B. How We Use Your Information for Interest-Based Advertising
We may use third parties to measure and target advertisements for us about our products and services that are tailored to your online interests. We allow these third-party companies to use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar technologies to collect certain data and other information about your online activity. This information is used to display advertisements for ICON Power/Solar by James on the services or across other websites, mobile applications, social media or online services that you use.
