These technologies may be used for:

Some cookies are placed by The Avid Campers and others may be placed by third-party services. Where required by law, non-essential cookies and similar technologies will only be used after appropriate consent has been obtained.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use The Avid Campers.

Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, browser and device information, referring sources and interactions with the website.

Grow and Mediavine may process information according to their own applicable privacy policies and privacy controls.

Advertising

The Avid Campers uses advertising to help support the operation of the website. Advertising providers may use cookies, identifiers, pixels and similar technologies to deliver advertisements, measure advertising performance, limit how often advertisements are displayed and, where permitted and consented to, personalise advertising.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, visit All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version
  • Device Type
  • Language of the website
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end-user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps.

This data may include usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and your choices to opt in or opt out of this data collection, visit the National Advertising Initiative opt-out page. You may also visit the Digital Advertising Alliance or download the AppChoices app for choices relating to mobile applications.

Contact Forms and Email

If you contact us through our website or by email, we may collect your name, email address and the contents of your message.

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and their arrangements with us.

We do not directly sell personal information to data brokers. However, certain advertising activities may involve sharing identifiers or browsing information with advertising partners. Depending on applicable privacy laws, some of these activities may legally be defined as a “sale,” “sharing” or targeted advertising. Where required, appropriate privacy choices will be provided.

International Data Transfers

Some third-party services used by The Avid Campers are operated by organisations located outside Portugal or the European Economic Area, including in the United States.

Personal information may therefore be processed outside the European Economic Area. Where required by applicable data protection law, international transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards or recognised legal transfer mechanisms.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to satisfy applicable legal, security, accounting or administrative requirements.

Email subscription information may generally be retained until you unsubscribe or the information is otherwise no longer required. Contact enquiries may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond and maintain appropriate records.

Analytics, advertising and cookie-related information may be retained according to the applicable retention periods of the services involved and your privacy choices.

Visitors may also be able to manage personalised advertising through privacy settings provided by relevant advertising providers and manage cookies through their browser settings.

Children’s Privacy

The Avid Campers is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website without appropriate authorisation where required by law. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so that we can investigate and, where appropriate, remove the information.
