A. Analytical Cookies

Please note that we use analytical cookies. The main application we use to obtain and analyse browsing information is Google Analytics: www.google.com/analytics/ and https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage which is a service provided by Google Inc, a Delaware corporation whose principal place of business is at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View (California), CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be directly transmitted to and stored by Google on their servers. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also share this information with third parties when required to do so by law or when such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

Google Analytics is a simple, easy-to-use tool that helps website owners measure how users interact with site content. When a user browses the pages of a website, Google Analytics provides the owner of the website with JavaScript tags (libraries) to record information about the page a user has viewed, for example, the URL of the page. Google Analytics JavaScript libraries use cookies HTTP to “remember” what a user has done on previous pages or interactions with the website.

Google Analytics supports two JavaScript libraries (tags) for measuring website usage: analytics.js and ga.js.

The analytics.js JavaScript library is part of Universal Analytics and uses a single source cookie containing an anonymous identifier to differentiate users.

By default, this library sets cookies at the top-level domain, excluding the first dot, and sets the cookie path at the root level (/).

This library sets these cookies:
