Privacy policy

Cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Internet, providing numerous advantages in delivering interactive services. This document will help you understand the different types of cookies we use.

Analytical Cookies

For periodic maintenance and to ensure the best possible service to users, this website uses “analytical” cookies to collect activity statistics. The information collected is always anonymous, making it impossible to link browsing patterns to specific individuals. Users can exclude their individual activity through the opt-out systems provided by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Google Analytics Opt-Out.

Internal Use Cookies

Additionally, Yoteguardo uses various cookies to maintain user sessions across different logins to private or self-management areas. Specifically, the following cookies are used: "PHPSESSID"(). Disabling these cookies may cause inconvenience to users, such as blocked functionalities and improper operation of the shopping cart.

Cookies Used by Social Networks

Since this website utilizes Social Plugins, it participates in Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ networks, allowing users to share content of interest with their social circles.

Social Plugins also prevent users from having to provide their personal data directly to this website by leveraging the information already shared on these social networks (which Yoteguardo does not have access to).

Cookies Used by External Content Plugins

This website uses Google Maps to display geographical locations of our stores. Using this service involves sending cookies that are fully managed by Google.

Additional Guarantees – Cookie Management

If you have a customer account with Yoteguardo and are logged in or have activated the “stay logged in” function, the information stored in cookies will be added to your customer account. Additionally, we use cookies to statistically record and evaluate website usage to optimize our services and display tailored information. These cookies allow us to recognize returning visitors automatically.

These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can configure your browser to prevent cookies from being stored or to always notify you before a new cookie is created. However, completely disabling cookies may mean that you cannot use all features of our website.

The storage period of cookies depends on their purpose and varies. Additionally, some services included on this website use pixel tags (also called web beacons), which are small, usually invisible graphics integrated into websites to enable statistical or marketing analysis.

If Yoteguardo’s use of cookies and similar technologies results in the processing of personal data, this will be done based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this regard is to offer a functional and secure website.

As an additional guarantee, cookies may require user consent during browser installation or updates, and this consent can be revoked at any time via content and privacy settings.

Many browsers allow users to enable a private browsing mode, which automatically deletes cookies after each session. Below is a list of common browsers and their corresponding “private mode” names:

  • Internet Explorer 8 and above: InPrivate
  • Safari 2 and above: Private Browsing
  • Opera 10.5 and above: Private Browsing
  • Firefox 3.5 and above: Private Browsing
  • Google Chrome 10 and above: Incognito

⚠️ Note: Please refer to your browser’s help section for more information on enabling private mode. You can still visit our website in private mode, but some functionalities, like the shopping cart, may not work properly.

Google Analytics for Marketing Optimization

Additionally, Google Analytics collects and stores data on this website and its subpages for marketing and optimization purposes on behalf of Yoteguardo. Usage profiles can be created under a pseudonym based on this data.

The data collected with Google Analytics technologies will not be used to personally identify visitors to this website, nor will it be combined with personally identifiable data without the explicit consent of the user. Users can opt-out of data collection and storage at any time via the following link: Google Analytics Opt-Out.

Targeting and Retargeting

The following targeting measures are implemented based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our goal is to ensure that only relevant, interest-based advertisements are displayed on users’ devices, avoiding unnecessary ads.

Yoteguardo works with retargeting providers that allow us to display interest-based advertisements after a user visits our site. Cookies store browsing behavior in our store, as well as anonymous information about the user’s browser and device, allowing recognition on partner websites.

Instead of generic ads, users may see tailored product recommendations from our store. No personally identifiable information is stored, and user profiles are not merged with personal data.

Additionally, Facebook stores and processes collected data. If you have a Google or Facebook account, these companies may associate the collected information with your account based on their privacy policies.

Users can opt-out of interest-based ads through Google Analytics opt-out options or the following provider-specific settings:
