            Cookies that are strictly necessary: These are cookies that are required for the operation of our Website. These

            user has followed in order to enable us to make our Website more relevant to the users' interests.

            Google Analytics and DoubleClick about your use of the Website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and
            stored by Google on servers in the United States. Because we activated IP anonymization for Google Analytics and Double

            is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating
            your use of the Website, compiling reports on Website activity and managing advertising content. #
