3. Third party cookies

 It is possible that some cookies are placed on your device when browsing our website which are not directly controlled and managed by the data controller. This happens, for instance, if the user visits a page that contains third party website content.

 In this respect, please be advised that BLAZÉ has no role in the processing of the data collected by this type of cookie, given their status as mere technical intermediaries.

 Third party cookies are required to view customised advertising on the website and other sites, and are based on the browsing activities of each individual user. This type of cookie may also be used by third parties to display their products and services on the website.

 The website also uses analytic cookies which are used to collect, as a mere example, the following information:

 • number of visitors, pages viewed and navigation from page to page within the website;

 • efficacy of the acquisition campaigns based on web traffic sources;

 • details on products viewed and/or downloaded from the website.

 These cookies, along with the purposes for which the same are used outside the website, fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third part that installs them on the users’ terminals and are used to display advertising media to the user that may be of interest to the same (as in the case of third party cookies used for marketing/retargeting strategies). Should the user decide not to receive third party cookies on his/her device, it is possible to use the links below and access the information notice and consent forms provided by such third parties to reject setting of all such cookies.
