If you do not wish to have your information shared and want to opt out from receiving further communications from any third party that is not our agent or service provider, please contact that third party directly.
4. Online Advertising and Analytics
ONLINE ANALYTICS
We may use third-party web analytics services on our web solutions, such as those of Google Analytics. These service providers use the sort of technology described in the Automatically- Collected Information section above to help us analyse how users use the Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Services. We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to online marketing, as described in the following section.
ONLINE ADVERTISING
We do not serve third party advertisements to you while using Maldonado.com.mt. However, we do work with website analytics and advertising partners, including Google, Facebook and Instagram, to deliver Maldonado advertisements on third party publisher websites – these partners may set cookies on your computer’s web browser. These cookies allow our partners to recognise your computer so that the ad server can show you Maldonado Bistro advertisements elsewhere on the Internet, and so that our analytics software can measure your engagement and interactions while using Maldonado.com.mt.
In this way, ad servers may compile anonymous, de-identified information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw our advertisements, whether or not you interacted with our advertisements and actions performed on subsequent visits to Maldonado.com.mt. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you, and it allows Maldonado Bistro to optimise the performance of our advertising campaigns and the usability of our website.
