We are committed to handling your information with care, being transparent about what we collect and why, and never using your data in ways you would not reasonably expect.

Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you use the Site.

We collect personal information from you only when you choose to share it. This happens when you:

We only use this information to respond to your message and to improve the experience on the Site.

We do not store your emails in any database or use them to contact you for unrelated purposes.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit Gymela, certain technical information is collected automatically through standard web technologies.

This is common practice across virtually all websites and is necessary to keep the Site running properly.

This automatically collected information may include:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version

  • Pages you visit and the amount of time spent on each page
  • The website or link that referred you to this Site
  • General location information such as your country or city, derived from your IP address
  • Date and time of your visit

This information is collected in aggregate form and is used to understand how visitors use the Site, identify technical issues, improve content, and monitor site performance.

On its own, this information does not identify you as an individual.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected through this Site for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content
  • To respond to your questions, comments, or requests in a timely manner
  • To understand how visitors navigate the Site and which content is most useful
  • To monitor for security issues, fraudulent activity, or technical errors
  • To display advertisements, including those served by third-party advertising networks such as Google AdSense
  • To send newsletters or updates if you have opted in to receive them
  • To comply with legal obligations when required

We do not use your information for any purpose beyond what is described in this Privacy Policy without your consent.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website.

They help the website remember information about your visit, such as your preferences or how you interact with the site.

Cookies are widely used across the internet and are a standard part of how most websites function.

Types of Cookies Used on Gymela

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the Site to function correctly.

They enable core features like page navigation, loading content properly, and accessing secure areas of the Site.

The Site may not work correctly without these cookies.

They do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.

Analytics Cookies

We may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use the Site.

This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users. It is used solely to improve the Site’s content and performance.

Advertising Cookies

Gymela participates in the Google AdSense program, which displays third-party advertisements on the Site.

Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this Site and other websites.

This allows them to show you advertisements that may be more relevant to your interests.

These advertising cookies are controlled by Google and its partners, not by Gymela.

Their use is governed by Google’s own privacy policies, which are linked in Section 4 of this policy.

Preference Cookies

If the Site uses features that allow you to set preferences (such as a cookie consent banner or display settings), those preferences may be saved using cookies so you do not need to reset them on every visit.

Most web browsers allow you to:

  • View the cookies currently stored on your device
  • Delete individual cookies or all cookies at once

Additional opt-out tools are available at aboutads.info and Your Online Choices for users in certain regions.

Third-Party Services and Advertising

Google Analytics

Gymela may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site.

Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address (which is anonymized where legally required), browser type, pages visited, and session duration.

This information is used by Gymela to analyze traffic patterns and improve the content and performance of the Site. It is not used to identify individual users.

Google’s ability to use and share information collected through Google Analytics is governed by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Google AdSense

Gymela participates in the Google AdSense program.

This means that Google may display advertisements on pages of this Site.

Google uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site and other websites across the internet.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to visitors based on their visit to Gymela and other sites.

You can learn more about how Google uses your data for advertising at the Google Privacy and Terms page.

To opt out of personalized advertising from Google, visit Google Ads Settings or install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

Gymela does not control the content of the ads served by Google AdSense.

The appearance of an advertisement on this Site does not constitute an endorsement of the product or service being advertised.

From time to time, Gymela may use other third-party tools or services including but not limited to:

  • Web hosting providers
  • Email service providers for contact form delivery
  • Social sharing tools or buttons (such as Pinterest or Facebook share links)
  • Embedded content from other platforms (such as videos or maps)

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they collect and use data.

Gymela is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party service you interact with.
