Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about website usage. We have configured Google Analytics to:

  • Use data only for aggregated statistical analysis

Google may process this data on servers outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are applied.

You can opt out of Google Analytics by:

  • Adjusting your cookie settings in your browser
  • Using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Consent – for optional communications and analytics cookies
  • Legitimate interests – to respond to inquiries and improve our services
  • Pre-contractual steps – when you request services
  • Legal obligations – where required by law

  • Legal or regulatory authorities when required

All processors are contractually bound to protect your data.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside the EEA. In such cases, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary:

  • Inquiry data: typically up to 12–24 months
  • Business communications: as required for contractual or legal purposes
  • Analytics data: according to Google Analytics retention settings
  • Akamai security/performance cookie data: per Akamai’s data retention policies (typically session to 1 year depending on cookie type)

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Ensure website functionality, security, and performance (Akamai — set at network edge, cannot be disabled)
  • Analyze traffic and usage patterns (Google Analytics — only loaded with your consent)

For a full list of cookies, their purpose, and their retention periods, see our Cookie Policy.

Where required, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings.
