Both on the sites owned and managed by Emmina SRL and on those of third parties, Emmina SRL publishes adverts defined based on the interests using the information that you make available when you interact with our sites, content or services. Adverts defined by interest, sometimes also called “customised” or “targeted”, appear on your browser based on information about your activities, such as  making purchases on our site, using devices, applications or software, on your visits to sites that display content or advertising relative to emmavillasplus.com, on your interactions with the tools of emmavillasplus.com or on the use of our payment services.

Like other online advertising networks, we use cookies, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs), and other technologies (jointly, “cookies”). Cookies allow us to know which adverts you see, which adverts you select and in what other way you interact on our sites and on those of third parties. This allows us to offer you adverts that are most useful and relevant to you. For example, if we know which adverts are shown to you, we can make sure that the same advert does not always appear.

By providing you with adverts based on your interests, we do not associate to your identity your interaction with sites that are independent of us.

We do not disclose personal information to third-party sites that publish our adverts based on your interests. However, advertisers and other third parties (including ad networks, ad-serving companies and other service providers that these may use) may assume that users who interact with or click on an advert or customised content are part of the group to which the advert or customised content is directed (for example, users in a particular geographical area). In addition, some third parties may provide us with information about you (such as demographic information or sites on which adverts have appeared to you) from offline and online sources that we may use to provide you with relevant and useful adverts.

Third party advertisers or advertising companies that work on their behalf take advantage of  technology to view the listings that appear on our sites directly on your browser. When this happens, they automatically receive your IP address. They can also use cookies, Javascript, web beacons (also known as action tags or single-pixel gifs) and other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to customise their advertising content. We do not have access to, nor do we control, cookies or other functions used by third-party websites, and the practices of such third-party websites are not governed by our Privacy Policy or by this page on Cookies and Internet advertising. Please contact these third parties directly for further information on their procedure relative to protection of privacy.

Emmina SRL allows you to choose whether to receive adverts based on your interests.  You can choose not to receive such adverts from Emmina SRL. In this case you will continue to see the listings, but these will not be customised. In addition, as described above, you may change the settings of most browsers so as to be notified when you receive a new cookie and to disable cookies
