To do this, we use tracking technology, provided by our advertising partners to help manage our online advertising. This technology allows the Company’s third party advertising partners to recognise a browser’s permanent cookie when a browser visits the Site.

No personal data such as your name, address, telephone number or email address is collected by, or shared with Barcelona FC Blog’s third party advertising partners.
The information collected through the tracking technology is not directly attributable to you, it is simply aggregated so that Barcelona FC Blog can learn who its most effective advertising partners are.

On 25th May 2011 a number of amendments were made to the EU’s Electronic Communications Framework — a directive that includes guidelines on the use of cookies on websites. The section of the directive dealing with cookies was drawn up in an attempt to protect privacy and, in particular, to administer the use of behavioural advertising. Behavioural advertising is a way of serving advertisements on websites you visit and making them more relevant to you and your interests.
For more information please go to www.youronlinechoices.eu – the guide to online behavioural advertising and privacy. This website is operated by the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) – the industry body for online advertising. On here you’ll find information about how behavioural advertising works, how to opt out, further information about cookies and the steps you can take to protect your privacy on the internet.
