We capture your IP address and place cookies on all Web site visitor hard drives to collect information on your visits to our site and the pages viewed.  We aggregate this information with that of other visitors to analyze Web site activity to help us improve your online experience.  These data are not personally identifiable to you and are used primarily to identify return visitors to the site and understand from what Web site you came to our site and the site you next visit upon leaving the AAA Mid States site, including when you link to our partner sites to explore the products and services they provide.  In addition, when you initially visit AAA.com, a persistent cookie is used to capture your zip code to make it easier to ensure you visit the appropriate AAA club Web site.

The use of persistent cookies enables us to capture and link to other information you have provided us online once you choose to identify yourself.  This capability allows us to view your activity on our site for a specified period of time to match your interests and needs to the best product and service information available and send it to you.  AAA Mid States also uses clear gif tracking images on some of its pages and in our HTML emails to determine open rates.

You may opt out of cookies at any time by following the instructions on your browser.

AAA Mid States has partnered with reputable companies such as The Walt Disney Company, Hertz Corporation, Trafalgar Tours, Holland America Line and Bank of America, as well as other travel or financial related companies, to provide additional services to you.  If you choose to use any of the links we provide to these member companies, sponsors, and other third party resources, you will be leaving our Web site and going to a new Web site. Protection of your privacy at those other sites will be governed by the privacy policy at that site.  We've taken special care selecting our partner companies to try to ensure that they respect your privacy as we do, but please take the time to read the privacy policies at their respective Web sites.
