1. Personal information collected by this website

This website collects and uses personal information for the following purposes:

1.1 Website traffic monitoring

This website uses Google Analytics (GA) to monitor visitor/user activity. We use this data to determine the number of people using our website, to better understand how they find and use our web pages, and to analyse how they navigate through the website.
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 potentially be used to identify you, but Google does not provide us with access to this information. Google is a third-party data processor.

1.2 Contact forms and email links

If you choose to contact us using the contact form or an email link, none of the data you provide will be stored by this website or transferred to or processed by any third-party data processor. Instead, this data will be sent to us by email using the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol). Our SMTP servers are protected by a security protocol, meaning that the content of the email is encrypted before being transmitted over the internet. The content of the email is then decrypted by our local computers and devices.

2. About cookies

2.1 What is a cookie?

The term “cookie” refers to a small data file consisting solely of a string of text-based information, which a website transfers to the web browser located on your computer’s hard drive, either temporarily for the duration of your visit or, in some cases, for longer periods, depending on the type of cookie. Cookies perform various functions (for example, distinguishing you from other visitors to the same website or remembering certain information about you, such as your preferences) and are used by most websites to improve the user experience.
Each cookie is unique to your browser and contains certain anonymous information. A cookie typically contains the name of the domain from which it originated, the cookie’s “lifetime”, and a value (usually in the form of a randomly generated unique number).

2.2 Types of cookies

The main types of cookies that websites may use are described below:

  • Session cookies

    These are temporary cookies that remain in your device browser’s cookie file only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close your browser.

  • Persistent cookies

    These remain in your device browser’s cookie file even after the browser has been closed, sometimes for a year or longer (the exact duration depends on the lifetime of each cookie). Persistent cookies are used when the website administrator may need to recognise you across more than one visit (for example, to remember your username or your website configuration preferences).

  • First-party cookies

    These are cookies installed in the browser and/or on the hard drive of your device by the website you are visiting. This includes assigning you a unique identification code for the purpose of monitoring your navigation through the website. Website administrators often use first-party cookies for managing visits and identification purposes.

  • Third-party cookies

    These are cookies used by third parties, such as social networks, to track your visits across various websites on which they advertise. The website administrator has no control over these third-party cookies.
