Data Protection

• We collect and process your personal data only when absolutely necessary.
• We will never sell, rent, distribute, or make your personal data public in any way.
• If you are under 16 years of age, you MUST have your parents’ consent before using the services of this website.

Personal Information This Website Collects and Why We Collect It

This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:

1. Website Traffic Monitoring

Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site and to better understand how they find and use our web pages. Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser, and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA records your computer’s IP address, but Google does not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third-party data processor compliant with European legislation.

2. Contact Forms and Email Links

Should you choose to contact us using a contact form or an email link, none of the data you supply will be stored by this website or passed to/processed by any third-party data processors. The data will be collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), protected by TLS (sometimes known as SSL) encryption. This means that the email content is encrypted before being sent across the internet and decrypted by our local computers and devices.

About Cookies

A “cookie” is a small data file consisting solely of a string of text information that a website transfers to the web browser on your computer’s hard drive, either temporarily for the duration of your visit or sometimes for longer periods, depending on the type of cookie. Cookies perform various functions (for example, distinguishing you from other visitors or remembering your preferences) and are used by most websites to improve your user experience.

Types of Cookies

The main types of cookies that websites may use are described below:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your device’s browser only for the duration of your visit and are deleted when you close the browser.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain in the cookie file of your browser even after the browser is closed, sometimes for a year or more (the exact duration depends on the lifespan of each cookie). Persistent cookies are used when the website administrator needs to know who you are for more than one browsing session (e.g., to remember your username or your website customization preferences).
• First-Party Cookies: These are cookies installed on your browser and/or hard drive by the website you are currently visiting. This includes assigning a unique identifier to you to track your navigation on the site. Website administrators often use first-party cookies for session management and recognition purposes.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are cookies used by third parties, such as social networks, to track your visits to various websites where they advertise. The website administrator has no control over these third-party cookies.

Cookie Management

On this website, we use cookies to enhance the user experience. The website’s functionality will be significantly affected if you disable or do not accept the use of cookies.

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: Our website uses a strictly necessary cookie named “acg_consent” (with a 1-year lifespan). The sole purpose of this cookie is to store your preferences regarding the acceptance or rejection of other cookie categories. It does not collect or store personal data, and its operation is mandatory to maintain your choices.
• Google Analytics Cookies: They collect anonymous information about how visitors use our site and are stored on Google’s servers. You can opt out of tracking by Google Analytics by clicking the opt-out link provided by Google.
• Google Consent Mode v2: To protect your data, we implement the Google Consent Mode v2 mechanism. During your first visit, external services (such as Google Analytics 4) load in a strict standby state, transmitting only anonymous signals (cookieless pings) without storing cookies on your device. Full tracking and cookie storage are activated exclusively if you provide your explicit consent in the respective categories (Statistics / Marketing).
• Video Service Provider Cookies: Providers such as Google, Vimeo, and DailyMotion may place cookies if you watch videos on our site. If you disable them, you may not be able to view embedded videos.
• Social Media Cookies: Cookies may be placed if you choose to share content via “share” buttons. If you disable them, this functionality will not be available.
• Right to Withdraw & Modify Consent: You have the right to change your preferences or withdraw your consent at any time, as easily as you provided it. You can do this by clicking the dedicated “Manage Cookies” button located at the bottom of our website, which will reopen the settings panel.
