When you visit the website, certain information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider, analytics services, advertising services and security tools. This may include:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser and device type
  • Operating system
  • Referring website
  • Pages viewed
  • Approximate location based on IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Time spent on pages
  • Website interactions

This information is generally used to operate, secure, analyse and improve the website.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Adike Market website may use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

  • Keep the website functioning correctly
  • Remember consent and privacy preferences
  • Measure website traffic and performance
  • Understand how visitors use the website
  • Protect the website from abuse or security threats
  • Display and measure advertisements
  • Limit how often an advertisement is shown
  • Provide personalized or non-personalized advertising where permitted

You can control or delete cookies using your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect the operation of certain website features.

3. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

The website may use Google AdSense to display advertisements.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on a visitor’s previous visits to this website or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its advertising partners to:

  • Serve advertisements
  • Measure advertisement performance
  • Limit repeated advertisement displays
  • Detect invalid traffic and abuse
  • Show personalized advertisements where consent and applicable law permit
  • Show non-personalized advertisements where appropriate

Personalized advertisements may be selected using information such as previous website visits, interests, approximate location or browser information.

Non-personalized advertisements are based mainly on contextual information, such as the content being viewed and approximate location. Non-personalized advertisements may still use cookies or similar technologies for frequency control, security, fraud prevention and aggregated reporting.

Visitors can manage how Google personalizes advertisements through Google My Ad Center. Visitors may also manage or disable cookies through their browser settings.

Other advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Adike Market does not control cookies placed directly by third-party advertising providers.

4. Consent Management

Where required by applicable law, visitors will be shown a consent notice before optional advertising or analytics technologies are activated.

Depending on your location, the consent notice may allow you to:

  • Accept all permitted cookies
  • Reject optional cookies
  • Manage advertising preferences
  • Manage analytics preferences
  • Choose personalized or non-personalized advertising where available
  • Withdraw or modify consent later

For visitors in regions such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Adike Market may use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform to collect and communicate consent choices.

Necessary security and operational technologies may remain active where permitted because they are required for the website to function safely.

5. Google Analytics and Site Kit

The website may use Google Analytics through Site Kit by Google or another approved implementation.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

  • General traffic and performance information

We use this information to:

  • Understand which pages are useful to visitors
  • Improve website navigation and content
  • Identify technical problems
  • Measure website performance
  • Understand general audience trends

Analytics information is generally reviewed in aggregated form. Adike Market does not intentionally send names, email addresses or other directly identifying contact-form information to Google Analytics.

Where consent is legally required, Analytics will be controlled through the website’s consent mechanism.

Visitors may restrict Analytics cookies through the consent settings, browser controls or the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

The mobile application may request permissions only when needed for a particular feature, such as:

  • Internet access

  • Approximate or precise location for weather information, where enabled

Location information used for weather features is not intended to be sold by Adike Market.
