We use the remarketing tool AdWords™ from Google. This tool allows us to publish advertisements on Google's content network based on previous visits by users to our Website.

These tags allow your browser cookies to be read and configured with the aim to determine the type of specific advertisement that will be shown to the user, based on elements related to your visit to our Website. For example, the selected browsing route, where you browsed, the specific pages visited or the actions taken. The remarketing lists created this way are kept in a database on Google's servers, where all cookie IDs associated with each list or interest category are stored. The information obtained only allows for the identification of a specific browser. Google cannot identify the specific user with this information only.
