05 Cookies, Google Ads & Google Analytics

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure editorial performance and understand how readers engage with our content. Google Analytics collects anonymized behavioral data — pages visited, session duration, device type, and approximate location. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users by default.

Google Ads

We participate in Google Ads programs, including remarketing and personalized advertising. This means that Google may display advertisements from amadaze.shop to previous visitors on other websites across the Google Display Network and Google Search. Google uses cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on prior visits to our site.

We also use Google Ads conversion tracking, which helps us understand how readers interact with our publication after seeing an advertisement.

Opting Out

• Opt out of Google personalized advertising: adssettings.google.com
• Opt out via the Digital Advertising Alliance: optout.aboutads.info
• Opt out via the Network Advertising Initiative: optout.networkadvertising.org
• Control cookies through your browser settings at any time
