Custom Audience. We may share with Facebook actions that you take on our website such as your visits to our website, your interactions on our website, use of Facebook Connect and information collected from cookies or similar technologies including the Facebook pixel.

Further information, including how Facebook enables you to exercise your data protection rights, and subsequently processes your information as independent data controller can be found in Facebook Ireland's Data Policy. If you would like to know more or if you do not want your data used in this way, feel free to contact us at the details outlined below.
Interest Based Advertising. We may partner with ad networks and other ad serving providers (“Advertising Providers”) that serve advertising on behalf of Us and other non-affiliated companies on the Internet. Some of those advertisements may be tailored to your interests based on information collected on Nespresso sites or on non-affiliated websites over time. You may visit www.aboutads.info/choices to learn more about this type of advertising, as well as about how to opt-out of interest-based advertising practices from companies that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s (“DAA”) self-regulatory program. Additionally, you may opt-out of this type of advertising in mobile applications from companies that participate in the DAA’s AppChoices app by downloading the app from the iOS or Android app store. You may also stop the collection of precise location data from a mobile device by accessing your device location service settings. We adhere to the DAA’s self-regulatory principles. You will still receive advertising, but those ads may be less relevant to your interests.
