This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). 
Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website
analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the
website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the
United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the
last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties
to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is
sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider Google will
use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on
website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity
and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any
other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate
settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use
the full functionality of this website. Furthermore you can prevent Google’s collection and use
of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available
under <a href="https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB">https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB</a>.

<p>You can refuse the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out
cookie will be set on the computer, which prevents the future collection of your data when

<p>In any case, this site will store a cookie indicating whether you have given consent to
tracking or not. This cookie is retained for a period of 12 months after which you will be asked
