When you access the Site, our servers may automatically collect certain information (“Usage Data”). This includes your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and referring URLs. Under certain jurisdictions, technical data such as an IP address may be considered personal data, and we treat all Usage Data with a high level of care and protection.

This data is collected through the following methods:

Basic server logs that record visits to our Site for security and operational purposes. This collection is necessary for the legitimate operation of the Site.

If you provide consent through our cookie consent banner, we deploy Google Tag Manager, which enables the following third-party analytics services:

  • Google Analytics 4 (GA4): To collect aggregated, anonymous statistical data about how visitors use our Site, including page views, user flow, and general demographic information.
  • Microsoft Clarity: To capture anonymized heatmaps and session recordings to better understand user experience and improve site usability.

C. Search Engine Webmaster Tools (Not User-Controllable)

We have verified our Site with the following search engine webmaster tools:

  • Google Search Console

  • Yandex Webmaster

These are site verification services that allow us to monitor our Site’s search performance and technical health from the search engine side. The verification is implemented through meta tags or HTML files on our server and does not involve user-side tracking or cookies. Data collected by these services is aggregated search performance data (such as which search queries lead to our Site) and is processed by the respective search engines, not on your device. This collection is not controllable through our cookie consent banner.
