Analytics cookies

Analytics Cookies collect data to understand how you (user) interact with our website and  particular part of it. These insights allow us both to improve content and to build better features that improve the user's experience.

When a user visits our website for the first time, a unique identifier is randomly generated and stored as a cookie in the user's browser. The information stored in the cookie helps Google Analytics differentiate between a new user and a returning user and keep track of the number of times each user visits our website, the time users spend on a webpage, search terms used, and how they came to the site (website traffic).

This unique identifier alongside the user’s website traffic is shared with Google Inc and stored in the USA, a country that is not recognized by data protection authorities as providing an adequate level of protection to personal information. Therefore, appropriate safeguards have been implemented through Standard Contractual Clauses with Google Inc to comply with GDPR and national data protection laws requirements for transfers of data to the USA. A copy of such Clauses are available Google Cloud Standard Contractual Clauses.
