The website https://gyms4you.com/ utilizes certain Google services, through which, via cookies, Google LLC collects specific personal data (hereinafter referred to as: Google).

The aforementioned term encompasses:
- Google applications,
- websites, and
- devices such as Search, YouTube, and Google Home platforms including the Chrome browser and the Android operating system
- products integrated into third-party applications and websites such as ads and
- embedded Google Maps.

When you are signed in and interact with certain Google services, such as posting a comment on a YouTube video, your name and picture may appear alongside your activities. Google may also display this information in ads, depending on your settings.

Google may publicly share certain categories of data with its partners, such as advertisers or developers. Additionally, Google allows certain partners to collect data from your browser or device for advertising and measurement purposes using their own cookies or similar technologies.

Google utilizes cookies for various purposes. For example, to remember your safe search settings, to provide you with more relevant advertisements, to count visitors to individual pages, to assist you in registering for certain Google services, to protect your data, or to remember your ad settings.

Below, you can see a list of cookie types used by Google and learn how Google and its partners use cookies in advertising.

1. The use of 'Settings' cookies

These cookies enable Google websites to remember information that changes the behavior or appearance of the website, such as selected language or region. For example, when it remembers your region, the website can offer local weather forecasts or traffic condition news. These cookies can also help you change the text size, font, and other parts of the web pages that you can customize.

If the information stored in the settings cookie is lost, the functionality of the website may be compromised, but it should not prevent the website from functioning.

Example:
Most Google users have a settings cookie in their browser called 'NID.' The browser sends this cookie with requests to Google websites. The 'NID' cookie contains a unique ID that Google uses to store your settings and other information, such as your selected language (e.g., Croatian), the number of search results you want to be displayed per page (e.g., 10 or 20), and whether you want Google's safe search filter to be enabled.

2. The use of 'Security' cookies

Google utilizes security cookies to authenticate users and protect user data from unauthorized parties.

Example:
Google utilizes cookies 'SID' and 'HSID,' which contain digitally signed and encrypted records of the user's Google account ID and the time of the last login. The combination of these two cookies enables Google to block many types of attacks, such as attempts to steal the content of forms you have filled out on websites.

3. The use of 'Processes' cookies

Process cookies assist websites in functioning and providing services that website visitors expect, such as aiding navigation through web pages or accessing secured areas of the website. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.

Example:
Google utilizes a cookie called 'lbcs' which enables opening multiple documents in one browser for Google Docs. Blocking this cookie would prevent the proper functioning of Google Docs.

4. The use of 'Advertising' cookies

This category of cookies assists Google in making advertising more engaging to users and more valuable to publishers and advertisers. Cookies are typically used to select ads based on their relevance to the user, to improve campaign performance reporting, and to avoid showing the same ads to individual users repeatedly.

Example:
Google uses cookies NID and SID for customizing ads on Google products such as Google Search. For instance, Google utilizes these cookies to remember your recent searches, your previous interactions with ads or advertiser search results, and your visits to advertiser websites. The latter enables the display of tailored ads on Google.

Google also utilizes one or more cookies for ads served on the web. One of the primary advertising cookies on non-Google websites is called 'IDE,' and it is stored in browsers under the domain doubleclick.net. Another similar cookie is stored under the domain google.com and is called 'ANID'.

Google also utilizes DSID, FLC, AID, TAID, and exchange_uid. Other Google products, such as YouTube, may also use these cookies to display more relevant ads.

Sometimes, advertising cookies may be set on the domain of the website you visited. In the case of advertising served by Google across the web, cookies "__gads" or "__gac" may be set on the visited website's domain.

Unlike cookies set on Google domains, Google cannot read these cookies when you are on websites where they are not set.

Their purpose is to measure interactions with ads on that domain and prevent excessive display of the same ads to users.

Additionally, Google also utilizes conversion cookies, whose main purpose is to assist advertisers in determining how often individuals who click on their ads actually purchase their products.

5. The use of 'Session State' cookies

Websites often gather information about users' interactions with the website. This may include data on which pages users visit most frequently and whether they receive error messages from certain pages. These 'session state cookies' help Google improve its services to provide users with a better browsing experience.

Blocking or deleting these cookies will not render the website unusable.

Additionally, these cookies may also be used for anonymously measuring the effectiveness of PPC (pay- per-click) and affiliate advertising.

Example:
The cookie called 'recently_watched_video_id_list' is used for the YouTube service to record which videos a specific browser has watched recently."

6. The use of 'Analytics' cookies

Google Analytics is a Google tool for analytics that helps website owners, including the owners of the website https://gyms4you.com/, as well as applications, to understand how their visitors use the features6 of their websites and applications. It can utilize a set of cookies to collect information and report on website usage statistics without disclosing the identity of individual users to Google. The main cookie of Google Analytics is "_ga". For more information on the analytical cookies used by GYMS4YOU, see the previous text, in the table that displays the cookies used by https://gyms4you.com/."

In addition to reporting website usage statistics, Google Analytics can be used, along with some of the previously described advertising cookies, to display more relevant ads on Google products (e.g., on Google Search) and on the web, as well as to measure interactions with the ads we display.
