Privacy / Cookies Policy

Regulation

This document contains information about the technologies that allow this Website 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 running a script) on the User’s device when the latter interacts with groundpower.online

For simplicity’s sake, in this document these technologies are succinctly referred to 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 speak of Cookies in the context of mobile 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 refer specifically to that particular type of Tracking Tool.

Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may, in addition, depending on applicable law require the User’s consent. If consent is given, it can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions in this document.

 

This Website uses Tracking Tools operated 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, such third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.
Duration and expiration of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set by the Owner or 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 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 (via the links made available) or by contacting the Controller.

How to manage preferences and give or revoke consent

There are several ways to manage preferences related to Tracking Tools and to give or revoke consent where necessary:

Users can manage preferences related to Tracking Tools directly through their device settings-for example, they can prevent the use or storage of Tracking Tools.

In addition, whenever the use of Tracking Tools is dependent on consent, Users may give or revoke that consent by setting their preferences within the cookie policy or updating those preferences via the tracking settings widget, if any.

Through special browser or device features, it is also possible to remove previously saved Tracking Tools.

Other Tracking Tools in the browser’s local memory can be removed by deleting the browsing history.

Regarding Third Party Tracking Tools, Users can manage preferences and revoke consent by visiting the relevant opt out link (if available), using the tools described in the third party’s privacy policy, or contacting the third party directly.

Users can also manage certain Mobile Application Tracking Tools by disabling them through the appropriate device settings, such as mobile advertising settings or tracking-related settings in general (Users can consult their device settings to locate the relevant one).

How to turn off interest-based advertising
