The statistical and analytical information provides us with general and not individually specific information about the number of people who visit this website; the number of people who return to this site; the pages that they visit; where they were before they came to this site and the page in the site at which they exited.

Web beacons also enable ad networks to serve targeted advertisements to you when you visit other websites. Some advertisers use cookies, pixels, beacons, locally stored objects or other similar technologies.
