Analytics / Performance
We use analytics cookies to make aggregated reports on visitor interactions with our website. The reports include information regarding the time spent on the websites and the geographic area from which the user is connected. We use such information to optimize our website and offer the best user experience. We set such analytics features to anonymize your IP address. In that case, we don't process personal information. In fact, the full IP address is never written nor memorized by a system. For instance, if your IP is 12.428.58.394, the technology promptly erases the last three numbers. In such way, we are not able to link an IP like 12.428.58.0 to an individual. Where such analytics technologies are based on the processing of your entire Internet Protocol (IP)address, we ask for your consent to process such information.
