Information collected by hand-delivered.email
To conduct ad campaigns that are closer to your interests through third parties, such as Google’s advertising network, we collect an IP address as well as the interactions with the content on this website, i.e. hand-delivered.email. The technologies used to collect the data are called cookies.
What are cookies?
An “Internet Cookie” (also known as “browser cookie”, “HTTP cookie” or just simply “cookie”) is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, that will be stored on your computer, on your mobile device or on another user equipment used to access the Internet. The cookie is installed following the request issued by a web server to a browser (for example: Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (does not contain software, viruses or spyware, and cannot access the information on the user’s hard drive). A cookie consists of two parts: the name and the content or the value of the cookie. Furthermore, the duration of a cookie is fixed; technically, only the webserver that has sent the cookie can access it again when a user returns to the website associated with the webserver. With the help of cookies, the website ‘remembers’ your actions and preferences (login, language, character size, and other display preferences) over a given period of time. As such, you do not have to enter them any time you go back to the website or when you navigate from one page to the next.

E-mail marketing
After the users provide their e-mail address to create an account on our website or through all the forms existing on the website, hand-delivered.email collects the e-mail addresses (but keeps them confidential) to be able to send newsletters about offers and news, while also providing an option to unsubscribe through each newsletter. We guarantee that the e-mail addresses that you used on the website will not be transmitted to third parties.
If hand-delivered.email has obtained a customer’s e-mail address directly, while selling a product or service, hand-delivered.email may use that address to send commercial communications about similar products or services, if it clearly and expressly provides the customers with the option to oppose such use by means of a simple, free-of-charge method, both in what concerns obtaining the e-mail address and in the case of each message, if the customer has not initially manifested any opposition. Every email sent by hand-delivered.email will give the recipient, every time, the opportunity to refuse receiving further marketing emails, at any time. Please take the time to carefully review the Privacy policy as well.
