We and our third-party service providers employ automated tracking technology, including "cookies," "Flash cookies," and "web beacons," to observe and gather information about interactions with the Site and Offerings. "Cookies" and "Flash cookies" are comprised of small files placed on an individual's computer or mobile device to facilitate the recognition of a specific computer or mobile device. "Web beacons," also known as "single-pixel" or "clear" GIFs, are electronic images embedded in the Site or Offerings, serving to transmit information from a particular computer to us.

Our utilization of tracking technologies may involve those that expire upon closing a web browser or persist on a computer or mobile device until manually deleted. Most browsers allow users to erase or block cookies from a computer or mobile device, and they may also provide a warning before storing a cookie. Browsers or email software may offer options to reject specific web beacons by adjusting settings. For further guidance on these functionalities, consult the instructions or help screen for the relevant browser or email software.

Google Analytics
Google Analytics employs "cookies," which are text files stored on your computer to facilitate the analysis of your website usage. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website is generally sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened in advance by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google utilizes this information on behalf of the website operator to analyze your website usage, compile reports on activity, and provide additional services related to website and internet usage.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the corresponding settings in your browser software. However, please note that, in such cases, you may not be able to fully utilize the functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie regarding your website usage (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". In this case, IP addresses are further processed in a shortened form to prevent individual user identification. If the collected data allows for identification, immediate steps will be taken to preclude such identification, and the personal data will be promptly deleted.

We utilize Google Analytics to analyze and consistently enhance the usability of our website.
