“A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device whenever you visit the site. The use of such files is widespread in order to make websites function or be more efficient, as well as to provide information to site owners.

HOW ARE COOKIES USED?

The Google Analytics website, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”) to help analyse website usage. For this purpose, Google Analytics uses cookies – text files that are stored on your computer.

The information obtained through these files about your use of the website – standard internet registration information (including your IP address) and information about visitor behaviour in anonymous form – is provided to and stored by Google, including on servers in the USA. Google will anonymize the information sent by removing the last octet of your IP address before saving it.

Google uses this information in accordance with the Google Analytics terms of use to evaluate your use of the website and to report on website activity.

We will not use, and will not allow any third party to use, the statistical analysis tool to track or collect any information that could identify visitors to the site. Google may provide third parties with information collected through Google Analytics where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Under the Google Analytics terms of use, your IP address will not be associated by Google with any other data held by Google.

You have the right to opt-out of Google Analytics cookies by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The app connects to Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that website visit information should not be sent to Google Analytics.

“Cookies are also used to register your consent (or non-consent) to the use of such files on this website so that you do not have to be asked this question each time you visit the site.
