4.2. Third-party services

• Google Maps – used to display our location. Google may set cookies and process data in order to provide the map service and prevent misuse. Please consult Google’s privacy and cookie documentation for details.
• Google Analytics – helps us understand how visitors use the website (for example pages visited, time on page, device type).
