Further information on Analytics privacy is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies.
- Google ADS. These cookies are used to display interesting adverts to users, to improve reporting on campaign performance and to prevent a user from seeing the same adverts multiple times. Through a cookie ID, Google records which ads are published on which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times; Furthermore, Google ADS cookies are able to record so-called conversions, which refer to the recall of a specific advert but according to Google, Google ADS cookies do not contain information relating to natural persons. Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We specify that we have no influence on the extent of the collection and the consequent use of the data acquired by Google through these tools and we can report what we are currently aware of, i.e. that through the integration of Google ADS, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or that you have clicked on one of our advertisements; if you are registered on a Google service, the latter can associate the visit with your account, while even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is still the possibility that the supplier becomes aware of and saves your address IP. You can avoid participating in this tracking procedure in several ways:
- through a specific setting of your browser, blocking third-party cookies means in particular that you do not receive advertisements from third-party providers;
- by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking, by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com https://www.marketingplatform.google.com, even if this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
- by deactivating the interest-related advertisements of providers, which are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, although this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
- through permanent deactivation on Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers at the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.
