The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL, the hostname of the accessing computer, time of server request) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there.

What are our processing methods?
Although the Company does not store, have access to, share, or use any of your data, we still use data to have statistically-relevant insights that help us run our business. That means, that we do collect, process and store data, just not any personal data of yours. In every case where we collect data that might be considered personal data, we obfuscate that data to eliminate all possibilities of it being linked to a specific person. This process that is known, under the GDPR guidelines, as pseudonymisation, takes information such as your IP Address (which is personal data) and converts it into anonymous data that can only serve for statistical purposes. This process is done automatically, it is irreversible and allows us to work with data without compromising your privacy.

Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website.
