How do we process personal data?

Profiling is carried out by creating a unique customer ID or file (for example a cookie), which is stored on your terminal device. This enables us or our subcontractor to combine your data generated when you are using the service, and to create a profile describing your behavior. The purpose of profiling is to identify customer behavior to target marketing and to develop our services to better meet your needs.
