Abstract
A refueling environment is coupled to a remote facility disposed apart from fuel dispenser locations and is connected to a network. A user identification is sent to the remote facility. The remote facility establishes an access connection with a network node, on behalf of the customer. The network communications follow a client-server session format and are correlated to the user ID. The remote facility sends a cookie element to the server that was previously set by the server during an initial Web site visit. The cookie contains state information. The remote facility associates the unique identification number with the relevant user ID. The server uses the received cookie element to identify the corresponding user profile record maintained at the server side. The server generates customized content from the retrieved user profile record and sends it to the customer.
