Geentoo Cookie Policy
This document contains information about technologies that allow Geentoo to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner to collect and save information (for example through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example by executing a script) on the User's device when the latter interacts with Geentoo.
For simplicity, in this document these technologies are briefly defined as "Tracking Tools", unless there is reason to differentiate. For example, although Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile device applications, since these are Tracking Tools that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document the term Cookie is used only to specifically indicate that particular type of Tracking Tool.
The use of certain Tracking Tools, such as those for statistical analysis, marketing and personalization of the experience, requires your explicit consent. When you visit our site for the first time, we will show you a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject different categories of Tracking Tools. You can also manage your preferences in a granular way, choosing which to accept and which to reject. The consent you provide can be freely revoked at any time, by following the instructions contained in this document or by modifying the preferences from the management panel.
Geentoo uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Owner (commonly called "first-party" Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly called "third-party" Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified, these third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.
The duration and expiration of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set 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 up-to-date 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.
