Advertising

Sometimes we use information (anonymously) about your browsing habits on www.gianlucamechspa.com to show you advertisements corresponding to products in which you have shown interest while browsing the site. This type of advertising is based on "behavioural retargeting" and works using the cookies that have been downloaded onto your device. These cookies are used to monitor the pages you have visited and to suggest advertisements related to them from other sites. The information collected in this way does not reveal the user's identity and is not shared with the sites on which the advertisements appear. This information is managed by us and by third parties solely for the purposes indicated above. Such third parties may include: Google Inc. and DoubleClick Inc., which make their advertising platforms and network of publisher sites available, in order to show our ads to interested users. We only operate with third parties who are committed to managing user data in compliance with current privacy regulations and who adhere to the Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioural Advertising. Therefore, the behavioural retargeting cookies we send out can be disabled in the browser and even directly from this page. You can read the Google Inc. and DoubleClick Inc. privacy policies regarding advertising here.
