What cookies and similar technologies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies do comparable jobs. A script is a small program in the page that can send data back to a website. This policy explains what bearzoutdoor.com uses, why, and how you can choose.
Who is responsible
The company responsible depends on the country we detect from your IP address.
- AllonOak OÜ, if you visit from a country we serve through a European Amazon store, or if we cannot detect your country. These are the EU and EEA countries, the UK, Switzerland and the nearby countries and territories listed in our privacy policy.
- NU Limit LLC, if you visit from the US, Canada, Mexico or any other country.
When we ask for your consent
Outside the US, we ask first. Optional analytics runs only if you allow it.
In the US, we tell you what we use. Analytics is on unless you turn it off.

Measurement without cookies
We count page views and buy-link clicks without cookies. Page view counts run for every visitor. Buy-link click counts run for every visitor in the US, and everywhere else only after you allow analytics.
Page views. When our server delivers a page, it adds one to a count. The count records the hour, the page, its language, your country and the company responsible. It also records the kind of site you came from, such as a search engine, an AI assistant, social media or email. We do not keep the address of that site. These counts hold no IP address and no browser details. No script runs for this count, and nothing is stored on your device.
Buy-link clicks. When you click a buy link, a small script on the page sends a short message to our server. The message names the link, its place on the page and the page path. Our server adds the hour, the Amazon store and product the link leads to, the link type, your country and the company responsible. Nothing is stored on your device. Outside the US, the script sends nothing until you allow analytics. In the US it sends the click for every visitor, also after you turn analytics off. With analytics allowed, we also keep a copy of the message, as the section “When analytics is on” explains.
We delete hourly counts once they are older than 90 days and we have finished and checked the daily total. Daily totals contain no identifiers, and we keep them without an end date.
When analytics is on
With analytics allowed (in the US, unless you turn it off), we keep a copy of each buy-link click message as a raw file. The copy holds the link, its place on the page, the page path, the time, your country, the company responsible and the version of your choice. It holds no IP address. We combine raw files into archive files and delete the raw files once we have checked the archive and at least 7 days have passed since combining them. We keep the archives for 400 days from the click date, once the raw files are cleared.
Advertising
Our privacy choices also list “Advertising measurement” and “Personalized advertising”. We do not use either yet. No advertising tags run on this site, and nothing is processed for these purposes today.
Links to Amazon
Our buy links take you to Amazon. Our links to the US, UK and German Amazon stores carry a tag that tells Amazon the visit came from us. Our links to other Amazon stores are plain links without a tag. Tagged links work the same way whether or not you allow analytics.
When you click, our site stores nothing about you beyond the counts and, when analytics is on, the click-message copies described above. Once you are on Amazon, Amazon receives the tag. Amazon may collect information directly from you and set or read its own cookies in your browser. Amazon decides how it uses that data. Amazon explains its cookies in the Cookies Notice on the help pages of your Amazon store.
How to change or withdraw your choice
- Privacy choices. Use the “Privacy choices” link in the footer of every page. You can change your choice there at any time. Withdrawing is as easy as giving consent. Your new choice applies from then on.
- Your browser. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you delete bz_consent, we will ask you again.
- Global Privacy Control (US). If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we switch off the advertising choices, even if you allowed them before. It does not change analytics.
Why we set a cookie when you say no
We set bz_consent also when you refuse. This way we remember your answer and do not ask you again on every page. The cookie lasts 180 days. After that, we ask again. The cookie holds your choice, the company it applies to, the consent version and a receipt number. It carries a digital signature, so we can tell if it was changed.
We also keep a record of each choice on our server for 400 days.
