Important notice regarding data processing in connection with Google Analytics:
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the entity responsible for processing data collected through this website is based outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland, the data processing associated with Google Analytics will be carried out by Google LLC (headquartered in the United States). Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Google.”
Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files saved on the site visitor's computer, to allow the analysis of the user's website usage. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website (including the truncated IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google.
Google Analytics is used exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp ()" extension on this website. This extension guarantees the anonymization of the IP address by truncation, thereby excluding any direct personal reference. Through this extension, Google truncates the site visitor’s IP address within a member state of the European Union or in another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the site visitor’s full IP address be transmitted to Google's server and truncated in the United States. The IP address provided by the visitor’s browser when using Google Analytics will not be merged by Google with other Google data.
On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the collected information to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other website and internet-related services to the website operator (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in optimizing this website, analyzing website usage, and adapting content. Users' interests are adequately protected by the pseudonymization of their data.
Google LLC has certified its compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield, providing a guarantee of compliance with European data protection laws. Data sent and linked to Google Analytics cookies (e.g., User ID, advertising ID) will be automatically deleted after 50 months. Data that has reached its retention limit is automatically deleted once a month.
The site visitor may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in their browser. The site visitor can also prevent Google from collecting information via cookies (including the IP address) and processing this information by downloading and installing the following browser plugin: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
The site visitor can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An "opt-out cookie" will then be set, allowing the site visitor to avoid being tracked during their navigation on the site.
More information regarding Google's data processing and use, settings, and opt-out options can be found in the Google Privacy Policy as well as in the Google Ads settings.
