We use Google Analytics to create statistics that help us understand how users use our Website, which in turn allows us to improve its structure and content. Thanks to the tools provided by Google, your IP address is anonymized.

Due to our use of tools provided by Google, your personal data may be transferred to the United States.

The transfer of data to the USA involves the risk that unauthorized public authorities in the USA may access your personal data. The transfer of personal data to the USA for security purposes is subject to national security laws and restrictions on access to personal data in a way that complies with EU law. US regulations do not grant individuals, whose data is being processed, the rights that could be enforced in US courts against public authorities. The legal basis for the transfer of personal data to the USA in this case is the consent you provided when you accessed our Website.

In accordance with the terms of service for Google Analytics, Google declares that it will not combine your IP address with other data it possesses.
