Google Analytics
This website uses cookies from Google Inc.’s “Google Analytics” and “Google Signals” programs. The purpose of these cookies is to improve the quality and customization of the website’s content according to the needs of its visitors. Standard log information (such as login time, duration, and IP address) and anonymous data about your actions on the website are collected for this purpose.
The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website is sent to Google servers abroad (which may not be located in Latvia or the European Union) and stored there. According to Google’s terms of service (https://www.google.com/intl/lv/policies/terms/) and the Google Analytics terms of service (http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html), Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website and to prepare reports on visitor activities on the website.
Your IP address, using IP anonymization (by deleting the last octet of your IPv4 address or setting the last 80 bits of IPv6 addresses to zero in memory), is shortened within the European Union or the European Economic Area and, in exceptional cases, may be sent for processing to Google servers in the United States.
The website will not use cookies and will not allow any third party to use them to locate or collect any identifiable personal information about website visitors. You can opt-out of Google Analytics cookies by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
What Does Google Consider Personally Identifiable Information (PII)?
Google defines PII as information sufficient to directly identify an individual, contact an individual, or pinpoint their exact location. This includes:
- Email addresses;
- Postal addresses;
- Phone numbers;
- Exact locations (e.g., GPS coordinates, but see the note below);
- Full names and user names.
Note: Certain product help centers and policies define limited means by which Google can receive certain types of PII. To avoid misunderstandings, this article does not alter these rules. For instance, some products allow sending precise location data to Google if applicable policies are followed.
