Data Collected
When you visit our website, technical data from your device is transmitted to us, such as your internet provider, browser type, screen resolution, and the pages you visit. These are generally not personal. However, your IP address is also collected, which may be considered personal data. We use this information only in an anonymized way for statistical purposes and service improvement.
a) Cookies
To offer personalized services and continuously improve the user experience, we use cookies—small text files generated by a web server and stored on your device through your browser during your visit.
Namsports uses tracking tools from third-party providers (see section b), which record a unique visitor ID and timestamps of the session’s start and end. This allows for user behavior to be analyzed.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are placed and to block them entirely. Please note that disabling cookies may affect some functionalities of the site. For the best experience, we recommend allowing cookies when using the Namsports website.
We also use Google Remarketing, which places cookies on your device to display personalized ads based on your past visits to our site. More details can be found in the section below under Google Analytics. You can disable this via Google's settings.
b) Analytics Tools
We use anonymous tracking and analytics tools to improve our website. This includes creating pseudonymized user profiles using cookies. IP addresses are anonymized immediately and are never linked to personal data without explicit consent.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service by Google Inc. It uses cookies to collect information (including your IP address) about website usage, which is sent to and stored by Google.
Google may use this data for:
- Reporting on ad performance for advertisers and host sites.
- Helping site owners understand how users interact with their platforms.
- Detecting and combating fraud and security risks.
- Improving its products.
With the exception of the second point, Google acts as a data controller, and data collected via the Namsports site falls under its responsibility. You can opt out of Google Analytics with this browser extension.
If you’re logged into your Google account, you may view and manage the information Google collects through your account settings.
Private browsing in Chrome allows you to navigate without saving visited pages or cookies after closing your session.
To manage your ad preferences or disable personalized ads, visit Google Ads Settings.
c) Social Media Plug-ins
Our website uses social plug-ins from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest, enabled through code provided by these networks. These platforms have their own privacy policies, and The Grass Company is not responsible for their data processing.
We also use the Facebook Pixel, a tracking tool integrated into our site’s pages. When such a page is visited, Facebook downloads the pixel and receives data including your IP address and device characteristics.
While we cannot personally identify users with this data, Facebook can, if you have a profile with them. In such cases, Facebook acts as the data controller. We recommend reviewing Facebook’s privacy policy for more information.
The Grass Company only receives anonymous, aggregated data from Facebook—not personal data.
You can manage ad preferences in your Facebook account or configure your device to block third-party data sharing.
