Cookie Policy of www.garda-outdoors.com

This document contains information regarding the technologies that allow this Website to achieve the purposes described below. Such technologies enable the Owner to collect and save information (for example, through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example, by running a script) on the User’s device when the latter interacts with this Website.

For simplicity, these technologies are briefly defined as Tracking Tools within this document, unless there is a specific reason to differentiate. For instance, although Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to speak of Cookies in the context of mobile applications, as these are Tracking Tools that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookie is used only to indicate that specific type of Tracking Tool.

Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are employed may also require the User’s consent. If consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time by following the instructions provided in this document.

This Website uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Owner (commonly referred to as first-party Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly referred to as third-party Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified within this document, these third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools. The duration and expiry of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on the settings established by the Owner or by each third-party provider. Some of them expire at the end of the User’s browsing session.

In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories listed below, Users can obtain more detailed and updated information on the duration, as well as any other relevant information—such as the presence of other Tracking Tools—in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (via the links provided) or by contacting the Owner.
