Tracking cookies from our advertisers
With your consent, our advertisers place tracking cookies on your device. They use these cookies to keep track of the pages from their network you visit, in order to create a profile of your online behaviour. This profile is also created on the basis of similar information they obtain from your visits to other websites in their network. This profile is not linked to your name, address, email address and similar information that is known to us, but only serves to match advertisements to your profile to ensure that they are as relevant as possible for you.
Google Analytics
When you visit our website, a cookie from Google is placed as part of its “Analytics” service. We use Google Analytics to analyse how visitors interact with our website and to generate reports on website usage. Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is required to do so by law, or to the extent that third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no control over this. We have not given permission to Google to use the analytics information for other Google services.
The information collected by Google through cookies is anonymized as much as possible. Your IP address is not transmitted in full; IP addresses are partially masked, which limits traceability. The data may be transferred to and stored on servers of Google in the United States or other countries outside the European Economic Area. Google states that it provides appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, including the use of standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission. We recommend consulting Google's privacy policy for more information on how the company handles personal data.
