WEB BEACONS:
We also place small "tracker gifs" or "beacons" on many of the pages on our Website. We use these beacons, in connection with cookies, to collect non-personal data on the usage of our site including, but not limited to, the date and time of the visit, the pages visited, the referring web page, the type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.), the type of operating system (e.g., Windows, Mac, etc.), the domain name of Internet service providers, and other non-personal information included in GOOGLE Analytics. This information is collected about thousands of site visits and analyzed as a whole, in aggregate. Web beacons are not used to access or store your personal information.

USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS:

We use Google Signals. This enables Google Analytics to collect additional information about users who have activated personalised ads (interests and demographic data) and ads can be delivered to these users in cross-device remarketing campaigns.

This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies" which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyse how you use the site. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. IP anonymization is activated on this website, and Google will within member states of the European Union and other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area shorten your IP address prior to transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports about website activities and providing other services associated with the use of the website and the Internet to the website operator. Google will not join the IP address transmitted by your browser within the frame of Google Analytics with any other data held by Google. You may prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the respective settings on your browser, however, please note that, in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. In addition to that, you may prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as from processing such data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Further information on the terms of use or privacy policy can be found at:
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/ or
http://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

Please note that Google Analytics has been extended by the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses ("IP masking").

CONSENT / DISABLING COOKIES AND BEACONS:
Session cookies We set expire and are deleted when you leave the Website. If you are uncomfortable with the collection of information gathered through the use of persistent cookies and beacons, you should disable these features through your browser preferences before accessing the Website; however, please understand this may limit the performance, functionality, and relevance of your experience on the Website. Your browser documentation should provide specific procedures for disabling cookie and beacon support.

Your personally identifiable information will not be rented or sold to any third party. European privacy law permits the export of personal data to other countries subject to the provision of adequate levels of protection for the processing of such personal data.
