Last updated: June 2, 2025

We take the privacy of our visitors seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines what data is collected when you visit our website and how it is used.

 

1. No Personal User Accounts

Our website does not offer any user registration, login functionality, or contact forms. You can browse our content without submitting any personal information directly.

2. Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects pseudonymized data such as:

  • Pages visited

  • Browser and device information

  • Referring websites

  • Duration and time of visit

  • Approximate geographic region (based on IP address)

Google Analytics uses cookies to perform this analysis. We have configured it to anonymize IP addresses in accordance with GDPR regulations. The data is processed on Google’s servers, primarily in the USA.

You can opt out of tracking by using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by adjusting your cookie preferences via our banner.

3. Embedded Content from Third Parties

Our website includes content from third-party services that may collect data from you, including:

a) Google Maps

Used to display interactive maps. When accessed, your browser connects to Google servers, which may collect your IP address and set cookies.

b) YouTube and Vimeo

We embed videos from YouTube (a service of Google LLC) and Vimeo (Vimeo Inc.). Viewing these videos may allow these providers to:

  • Track viewing behavior (e.g., play, pause, video length watched)

  • Set cookies or use similar technologies

  • Link your behavior to an existing account if you’re logged in to their services

These third-party services act as independent data controllers and are responsible for their own data processing. Their respective privacy policies apply:
