First Party Cookies

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect information about visitor behavior on our Website. Google Analytics stores information about what pages you visit, how long you are on the Website, how you got here and what you click on. This data is collected via a JavaScript tag in the pages of our Site and is not tied to personally identifiable information. We therefore do not collect or store your personal information (e.g. your name or address) with Google Analytics so this information cannot be used to identify who you are.

In order to implement these buttons, and connect them to the relevant social networks and external sites, there are scripts from domains outside of our Website. You should be aware that these sites are likely to be collecting information about what you are doing all around the internet, including on this Website.
You should check the respective policies of each of your social media sites to see how exactly they use your information and to find out how to opt out, or delete, such information.
