Along with our company’s internal information systems, this website is designed to comply with the following data protection laws/regulations:
This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:
Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to monitor their journey through the site. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, web browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address, which could be used to identify you, but Google does not provide us access to this. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor compliant with European legislation requirements.
If you choose to contact us using a contact form or an email link, none of the data you provide will be stored on this website or transmitted or processed by any third-party data processor, as defined in the section “Our Third-Party Data Processors.” Instead, this data will be sent to us by email via the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by TLS security protocol (sometimes known as SSL), meaning that email content is encrypted before being sent over the internet. The email content is decrypted by our local computers and devices.
A “cookie” is a small data file consisting exclusively of a series of text information that the website transfers to your web browser’s cookie file on your computer’s hard drive, either temporarily during your visit or sometimes for longer periods, depending on the cookie type. Cookies perform various functions (for example, distinguishing you from other visitors to the same site or remembering certain things about you, such as your preferences) and are used by most websites to improve your user experience. Each cookie is unique to your browser and contains some anonymous information. Typically, a cookie contains the name of the domain it came from, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value (usually a randomly generated unique number).
The main types of cookies that may be used by websites are described below:
These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file only during your visit and are deleted when you close the browser.
These remain in your browser’s cookie file even after the browser is closed, sometimes for a year or more (the exact duration depends on the cookie’s lifetime). Persistent cookies are used when the site administrator may need to know who you are for more than one visit (e.g., to remember your username or site customization preferences).
These are cookies installed by the website you are visiting and involve assigning a unique identifier code to you to track your navigation on the site. Website administrators often use first-party cookies for visitor management and recognition purposes.
These are cookies used by third parties, such as social networks, to track your visits to various websites where they advertise. The website administrator has no control over these third-party cookies.
Google Analytics cookies are performance/analysis cookies that allow us to collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website. These cookies inform us about the number of visitors to the site, the time and duration of access, and provide information about how visitors navigate different areas of the site. This information helps us improve how our site works. It is anonymous information and does not contain personal data. The information collected by Google Analytics cookies about our website is transferred and stored on Google’s servers under Google’s privacy policy.

We use a number of third parties to process personal data on our behalf. These entities have been carefully selected to comply with the legislation mentioned in this document.
For any personal information stored in our database, all necessary measures will be taken to ensure its security.
