More information about cookies
Astrucan.com’s goal is to make your on-line experience and interaction as informative, relevant and useful as possible. We use cookies or similar techniques for this purpose. We believe that it is important for you to know which cookies are used by our website and for which purposes. This will help protect your privacy, while ensuring the ease of use of our website as much as possible.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device
(computer or mobile device) when you visit certain websites. At Astrucan.com we can use similar techniques, such as pixels, web beacons, device fingerprints, etc. For the sake of consistency, the combination of all these techniques will be referred to hereinafter as “cookies”.
Why are cookies used?
Cookies can be used for many different purposes. Firstly, cookies may be necessary for the website to function properly. For example, without cookies it would be difficult to get a website to remember that you are logged in or what products you have added to the shopping cart. These are called technical cookies.
Cookies can also be used to analyse how a website is used, count the number of visitors and learn how the website can be improved. We do not link website usage statistics or other reports to individual persons. These cookies are called analytical cookies.
Thirdly, social media cookies are used to allow social media to be integrated into the website so that you can click on “Like” or “Share” a page or product on your favourite social network.
The fourth important use of cookies is to enable on-line advertising, which can be customised to show ads that are more relevant and interesting to you, both on and off Astrucan.com’s websites. This is achieved by means of advertising cookies (targeted).

Cookies to display targeted ads and content (targeted advertising cookies)
In order to personalise the information and advertising according to your interest and relevance, we try to know your possible interests based on your visits and your behaviour when browsing Astrucan.com and other third party websites. According to these interests, we develop a segmented profile and adapt the content and advertisements on our website to the different groups of customers.
Third parties who set cookies through our website may also try to learn about your interests in this way and may use this information to present you with content and advertisements that are most likely to interest you on other websites outside of Astrucan.com. In that case, information about the website you visit may be combined with information from previous visits to websites other than ours.
Even if such cookies are not used, please note that ads will be displayed on our website; these ads will not be customised to your interests. These ads can, for example, be modified according to the content of the website. You can compare these types of content-related Internet ads to the ads that appear on TV. For example, if you are watching a cooking show on TV, you will often see an advertisement for cooking products during the commercials while this show is playing.
We may use targeted advertising cookies to:
– Have the websites record your visit and, as a result, assess your interests.
– Check if you have clicked on an ad
– Track the number of visitors who click on an ad
– Transfer information about your browsing behaviour to other websites
– Use third-party services to display ads tailored to your needs, interests and preferences
– Determine which ads, advertising technologies and advertising networks are most efficient for us
– Show you ads for products you have previously clicked on, searched for or shown interest in (re-segmentation)
– Track the ads you have already been shown so you don’t always get the same ones
– Show more interesting ads based on your use of social networks
– Allow you to submit questions or reviews about our products and, based on these, present you with advertisements that are most likely to interest you
– Convert the reviews you send us into product recommendations on other pages
– Enable you to connect with authorised dealers on-line, find out the price, availability and purchase conditions of the product you are interested in and keep track of your purchasing preferences
– Determine which ads you have clicked on before making a purchase on our website
– Track the number of orders placed through the ad, as well as their monetary value
– Send you direct marketing emails tailored to your interests (if you have agreed to receive these emails) or direct marketing emails about products similar to those you have already purchased (if you have not declined to receive these emails)
– Relate multiple devices (e.g. phone, tablet or laptop) to a visitor in order to track whether an ad on one device has generated an action (e.g. a purchase) on other devices (this is called “multi-device tracking”)
