6 - INTEREST BASED ADVERTISEMENTS
Google can track user
activity via a cookie. This cookie will then determine what ads might be most
appropriate for you, based on your interests. People who frequently visit
sports sites, for example, will see sports-related ads. The logic is that you
will be more interested in these ads than you might be in ads that are simply
related to the content of the site you are visiting.
For more information,
or to opt out, go to the Ads settings page on your Google Account and turn it
off.
If you opt out, you
will continue to see ads, but they will be related to the content of the site -
something that does not require a cookie.
7 -
THE PERSONAL DATA WE RECEIVE AUTOMATICALLY:
Cookies: We may collect information from you through automatic tracking
systems (such as information about your browsing preferences) as well as
through information that you volunteer to us (such as information that you
provide during a registration process or at other times while using the

For example, we use
cookies to make your browsing experience easier and more intuitive: cookies are
small strings of text used to store some information that may concern the user,
his or her preferences or the device they are using to access the Internet
(such as a computer, tablet, or mobile phone). Cookies are mainly used to adapt
the operation of the site to your expectations, offering a more personalized
browsing experience and memorizing the choices you made previously.
A cookie consists of a
reduced set of data transferred to your browser from a web server and it can
only be read by the server that made the transfer. This is not executable code
and does not transmit viruses.
