4. Google Analytics and similar tools

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (USA) and Google Ireland Ltd. (“Google”), to understand how visitors use our Website.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as:

We have enabled IP anonymization, which means that your IP address is shortened and cannot be directly linked to you as a person. The information generated by Google Analytics is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of the Website, compile reports, and provide us with other services related to Website activity.
