Third-party cookies
Like most websites, we use third-party services that record anonymous data about the utilisation of the site, to extract statistics on browsing habits. The services we use are:
- Google Analytics: It is a web analytics service developed by Google, which allows the measurement and analysis of page visits on websites. In your browser, you can see cookies from this service. Through the web analytics, we get information on the number of users accessing the website, the number of page views, frequency and repetition of visits, duration, browser used, the operator providing the service, language, the device you are using, and the city to which your IP address is assigned. To ensure anonymity, Google will make your information anonymous by truncating the IP address before storing it, so Google Analytics is not used to locate or collect personally identifiable information from site visitors. Google may only send the information gathered by Google Analytics to third parties as long as it is legally bound to do so.
You can find more information in this pages:To provide website visitors with the ability to prevent their data from being used by Google Analytics, install the opt-out Browser Add-on..
