Cookies and analysis of the users’ activities and behavior 

We use advertising services and functions provided by Google Inc.’s Google Analytics to analyze and improve the functionality of our webpage and app. Google Analytics uses cookies for analyzing the way users use web pages and creating aggregate statistics/visitor reports. On top of that, thanks to the Advertising Function of Google Analytics we can: 

  • Apply Google Analytics in remarketing activities;  
  • Prepare impression report for the Google advertising network; 
  • Prepare Interest and Demographics Reports in Google Analytics; 
  • Use integrated services, that require Google Analytics to collect data for advertising purposes, including the use of identifiers and advertising cookies. 

You can use advertising settings in Google at any time, including turning off advertising personalization, which allows Google to use information about your activity on the Google account, information stored in Google services (like Search and YouTube), and browsing data from Google partners’ websites and applications. You can change your advertising settings here. 

 

If you do not want Google Analytics to collect data related to your activity on our web pages, then you can use a browser plugin to block Google Analytics. You can download and install a free plugin here. Google Analytics will not be collecting any data about your browsing, while you will still be able to use our web pages.
