          Browser used

          Simply click “Edit Cookie Settings” in the footer of our website.
           
        7. Changing your browser settings

          Alternatively, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies in general by changing your browser settings. You can delete cookies saved on your device at any time. You can also automate this task. If you also deactivate strictly necessary cookies for our website, you may not be able to use the full extent of all of our website’s functions.
           
        8. Install a browser add-on

          If you do not want your personal data to be processed by Google Analytics, you can also install a browser add-on to opt out from Google Analytics. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) not to send information to Google Analytics.

          If you would like to deactivate Google Analytics, access the page listed below and install the add-on to opt out from Google Analytics for your browser. Detailed information on how to install and uninstall an add-on in your browser’s help settings.

          Browser and operating system updates can cause the Google Analytics opt-out add-on to stop working as intended. You can find further information on managing add-ons for Chrome on the pages listed below. If you do not use Chrome, you should consult your browser provider directly to determine whether add-ons work properly in the browser version you use.

          The latest versions of Microsoft Edge only load the add-on to opt out from Google Analytics once your personal data has already been sent to Google Analytics. So, if you use Internet Explorer, the add-on installs cookies on your computer. These cookies ensure that any kind of collected data is immediately deleted by the server that collected it. Make sure that you have not blocked third-party cookies for Internet Explorer. If you delete the cookies on your device, the add-on promptly resets these cookies to ensure that your Google Analytics browser add-on continues to function properly.

          The browser add-on to opt out from Google Analytics does not prevent your personal data being transmitted to this website or to other tracking services.

          You can find further information on the Google Analytics Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html  and at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
