This website usage information enables us to provide our users with a continuously improved website, service and offering.

 

Cookies and web beacons

We set and access cookies on your computer or browser. "Cookies" are small files that your browser places on your computer and are often used to ensure the functionality of websites and to provide information to the website operator.

We collect this information for website usage and analytics reports, as described in the "Google Analytics" section, and to store your language preferences. When you first visit the website, you will be asked to accept our use of cookies. If you refuse the use of cookies, you will not be able to access the website.

Communications you receive from us and individual pages of the website may contain small electronic files called web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags and single-pixel gifs). These allow us to measure the success of a campaign by reporting when the user performs an action on the website after visiting it via an ad. The web beacons only collect aggregated, anonymous data and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you as a person.

 

Third-party cookies and web beacons

Some content or applications on the Site are provided by third parties, including content providers and application providers. Our third-party providers may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies already in your browser to collect information about you when you visit the Site. The information they collect may be linked to your personal information or they may collect information, including personal information, about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services.

Third-party cookies and web technologies are controlled by our partners and are not subject to this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions about the practices of these third parties, please contact the relevant third party directly.

 

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to provide reports on website usage and for analysis purposes. To provide this information, Google recognizes your IP address(es). However, Google only provides us with anonymous, aggregated usage data that we cannot use to identify you personally. You can refuse the transfer of your data to Google by installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. This will instruct your browser not to share website usage data with Google Analytics. To deactivate Google Analytics, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install the browser add-on.

Please note that installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics will only deactivate the use of Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent data from being sent to the website itself or to other web analysis services.
