4. Additional information about Google Analytics
If you give us your consent to use statistics and audience cookies, you authorise this Website to use Google Analytics, which is an analytics tool of Google Inc. (hereafter, ‘Google’). Google Analytics uses cookies which enable us to analyse how the users use this Website. Information on the user’s use of the websites generated by cookies, including the IP address, will be transferred to a server in the United States for storage purposes. For more information on use of personal data by Google, please visit this website.
5. Sharing on social networks
We use social plug-ins to enable you to share information from this Website on Facebook and Twitter via “Share” buttons.
For data confidentiality reasons, we have deliberately refused to use direct plug-ins from social networks on our Website. Instead of this, we use an alternative technical solution that enables you to decide if you wish to send data to social network operators, and when. This way, when you visit this Website, the data is never sent automatically to a social network; Only when you click the corresponding button yourself will your browser connect to the social network servers. In other words, clicking the social network icon tells your browser that you consent to it connecting to the social network servers and sends usage data to this social network operator, whether or not you are subscribed to this social network.
Please note that we have no influence on the nature or scope of the data that social networks can then gather. For more information about the aims and scope of data collection, processing and use by social networks, your personal data protection rights and the relevant configuration settings, please read the social networks’ respective privacy notices.
6. How do we prevent cookies from being placed?
You can prevent cookies from being loaded by suitably adjusting your browser. Most web browsers allow most cookies to be controlled via the browser settings. To find out how to prevent cookies from being saved, visit this website.
Please note that in this case, certain website features that require the use of these cookies may no longer work and certain website applications may no longer be available.
7. How to delete/disable cookies?
If you wish to delete/disable cookies, most browsers will enable you to completely disable the use of cookies, or to delete cookies created by specific websites. To find out more about how to proceed, please refer to the browser’s help page:
You can specifically prevent Google from collecting and using data (cookies and IP addresses) for any website that you visit, by downloading and installing the valid add-in browser module from https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
An opt-out cookie including a line of code (<a href=“javascript:gaOptout()“>Disable Google Analytics</a>) preventing the future collection of your data when you visit this Website will automatically be installed on the computer (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/eula.html).
Another possibility to refuse the use of Google Analytics on this Website (among others) is to click the following link, to install this extension in your browser and then to choose to block Google Analytics specifically. The company Ghostery belongs to the German company Cliqz.
