Technologies Used for Automatic Data Collection
We use cookies, pixels, analytics tools and other technologies to make our Website work properly, improve its performance, understand how visitors interact with it, and deliver relevant content and advertising. These technologies help us provide a better user experience and measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
We may automatically collect, use, store, and transfer certain information about your visit to our Website through technologies such as cookies, pixels, and analytics tools. Some of these technologies are provided by third-party service providers, and information collected through them may be shared with or directly collected by those third parties.
Below is an overview of some of the technologies we utilize:
- Cookies are small files placed on your device that allow us to recognize your browser and store preferences or settings. We use cookies to enhance Website usability, to provide website functionality, personalize content, and improve your experience. In addition to our own cookies, third-party providers may place cookies on your device to support analytics, advertising, and other services.
- Pixels are small pieces of code embedded on a webpage that help track user interactions, such as page views or clicks. Pixels are often used to measure the effectiveness of advertising and understand user actions on the Website. Some pixels may be provided by third parties and may allow third-party providers to collect information about your activity for analytics and marketing purposes.
- Analytics may be provided by third-party vendors to analyze Website traffic and usage. These vendors use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and browsing behavior. This information is transmitted to and stored by these vendors on their servers (or those of their subprocessors). They use it to provide us with reports and insights and may share it with other parties where required by law or for their own processing purposes. For example, we utilize Google Analytics, a web analytics website offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Website. This data is shared with other Google websites. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You can opt-out of having your activity on the Website made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity. For more information about the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy Terms web page at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. We may also use other providers, including but not limited to Hotjar, and pixels provided by Meta and LinkedIn.

We do not control these technologies or how third parties use the information they collect. For details on how these third parties handle your data, please refer to their respective privacy policies.
