Cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information that can be used to link back to you or identify you. They allow us to recognise every individual website user to improve their browsing experience.

aVEND has integrated Google Analytics on the website with the anonymiser function. Google Analytics is a web analytics service used for the collection, gathering, and analysis of data to monitor the behaviour of visitors on websites.

For website analytics, our Controller uses the “_gat._anonymiseIp” application. Through this application, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is abridged and anonymised by Google when accessing from a Member State of the EU.

Data subjects may prevent the setting of cookies through their web browser settings. Further information regarding Google’s data protection provisions may be found at Google Privacy Policy.

The aVEND website may integrate components from social networks such as Facebook. If a data subject is logged into their social media account while accessing our website, the social network may detect each call-up and collect information accordingly.

If such transmission of information is undesirable, the data subject may prevent it by logging out of their social media account before accessing our website.
