Third Party Sites
www.gufodesign.com may contain links to third party sites for your convenience and information. When you use these links, you will leave www.gufodesign.com. When you access a different site, remember that, even if it contains our logo, GUFO Srls has no control over the content and is not responsible for the privacy practices of that site. You are advised to carefully review the privacy practices of each site you visit. Those sites may send their own “cookies” to you, collect data, or request personal information.
Specifically, this concerns:
a) Google Analytics
GUFO uses the Google Analytics Web Analytics Service from Google Inc. (“Google”) to analyze the use of the websites. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the websites is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. GUFO uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension “ga ('set', 'anonymizeIp', true)”, to ensure that IP addresses are processed only in abbreviated form, so as to exclude a direct reference to individual persons. Google may transfer this information to third parties if this is legally prescribed or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will not publish the IP address of users in combination with other Google data.
Users can prevent the collection and storage of data by Google Analytics at any time by installing a browser plugin authorized by Google and which can be downloaded at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
b) Universal Analytics
GUFO uses the Universal Analytics functions provided by Google. With these functions GUFO can record and analyze socio-demographic data about users through a Google ID (if available) and cookies created by Google from advertising content (double click). If a Google ID is available, the data controller will also record this data for all devices (e.g. if users use a smartphone and a PC) in order to analyze user flows from all devices.
Users can prevent the collection and storage of data by Google at any time by installing a browser plugin published by Google and which can be downloaded at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
c) Google remarketing and retargeting
GUFO uses the advertising functions of Google Analytics, which allow users who have already visited the site and have shown interest in certain products to be contacted again through targeted advertising on the sites of the Google partner network. Advertising is displayed via cookies that analyze the behavior of users during their visit to the site and send product recommendations and advertising in a targeted manner and based on the areas of interest of the users.
Users can prevent Google remarketing and deactivate the use of cookies for this purpose by Google by calling up the deactivation page via double-click. Alternatively, users can deactivate the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative.
Google offers users the ability to manage their cookies with advertising parameters: http://www.google.it/intl/it/policies/technologies/ads/
d) Facebook remarketing and retargeting
GUFO uses a remarketing technology for advertising on Facebook. With this technology, users who have already visited a site and shown interest in an offer are shown targeted advertising on Facebook in the form of ads. This promotional activity is carried out through the use of cookies by the service provider AdRoll (AdRoll EMEA, Level 6; 1, Burlington Plaza Burlington Road, Dublin 4, Ireland).
Users can opt out of targeted advertising through Facebook's remarketing technology by disabling the use of cookies by third parties on the Facebook Advertising Initiative opt-out page at the following link: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/
This site does not use any cookies for profiling.
Use of cookies
Use of cookies: As is the case with most websites, www.gufodesign.com may collect information relating to your computer's navigation on our site, for purely statistical purposes. The collection of information is possible thanks to the use of so-called Cookies. A "cookie" is a small data file transferred to the hard disk of your computer when you access a website. This is "non-personal" data as it does not allow the individual identification of the user: the data collected concerns - but is not limited to - the geographic location of your internet access provider, the type of browser you use, your IP address, the pages you visit, etc. The aggregate information collected allows us to know the frequency of your visits and to collect data on your navigation. Over time, this can help improve the content of the site and make it easier to use.
Companies that send content to our site and those reachable through links from our pages can also use "cookies" when the user clicks on the relevant link. In this case, the use of "cookies" is beyond our control.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can also refuse them altogether, or selectively accept only some, by acting on the preferences in your browser. If you inhibit the loading of cookies, some components of the Site may not be available and certain pages may be incomplete. On the following sites you can find information on the most popular browsers and how to set them with respect to cookies:
Microsoft Internet Explorer: http://www.microsoft.com/info/it/cookies.htm
Mozilla FireFox: http://www.mozillaitalia.it/firefox/cookies.html
Social Media Plugins
This site uses Social Media Plug-Ins offered by the main social networks (e.g. Facebook and Twitter). Following the visit to the site, navigation data can be transmitted directly to the respective social network, even without direct interaction by the users. Users confirm and accept that the management of the plug-ins for social networks is managed directly by the company that offers the plug-in. If users use the plug-ins via the site (e.g. log in with their access data to a social network or link their accounts), they click on the appropriate button (e.g., in the case of Facebook, "like" or "share") and connect to the server of this social network, which then sends the content of the plug-in directly to the users' browser.
Accordingly, in accordance with the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social network, GUFO may receive data about users and add information to the personal data of users that it has already collected through its services. When the user decides to share information with social networks, he also communicates to GUFO, for example, data about his preferences. To prevent social networks from collecting your personal information, check the conditions reported on the social network's website.
In particular, the site uses:
a) Facebook
This site uses Facebook Social Plug-Ins operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). When users access GUFO web pages via Facebook and vice versa, the users’ browser will create a direct link to Facebook’s servers.
If you are registered with Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, e.g. by clicking the "Like" button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transferred directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. The purpose and scope of data processing by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Facebook's data protection information (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).
