Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How we collect your data
In some cases, the data is collected when you provide it to us. This is the case when you submit a newsletter contact form. Other, non-identifiable data can be collected when you browse the eFORT website. This can include IP addresses, geographic location (approximately), a record of how services and sites are used, and other data that cannot be used to identify the user.
The data is collected by using cookies and analytics, including third-party analysis service Google analytics. We use this information to analyse trends, manage the site, track the movements of users around the site and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole.
You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. You can also object to this analysis. We will inform you below about how to exercise your right to object.

Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in server log files. A server log file is used to store information about website activity, such as IP addresses, browser types, internet service providers, referring/exit pages, operating systems, date/time stamps, and clickstream data. The purpose of collecting this information is to analyse trends, administer the site, track user movements throughout the site, and gather demographic information.
We collect this information in order to understand how our website is used and to improve its functionality and performance. This information is not used by us to identify individual users or to match it with other personal information on our system.
The server log files are kept for 30 days, after which they are automatically deleted. It is possible for us to retain and utilize anonymous, aggregated data derived from these logs indefinitely for statistical purposes.
Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding the collection and processing of server log data by our company.
Newsletter data

No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and never pass it on to third parties.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address and using them for sending the newsletter at any time through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
