7) Information we collect from other sources.

A. Information analysis partners.
The company collaborates with companies that provide it with services to determine whether users who viewed or clicked on an advertisement or content later purchased the service or product advertised in the advertisement (or took some other action according to the advertiser’s intentions). To do this, these services may collect information about the content or ads users display, the time they spend on various pages, how they end up on a particular page (e.g., through a search query, through a link from another page, or through a bookmark), and how they respond to the ads we show them. These partners collect information about our ads and what you see when you use our Services to provide us and our advertisers with controls, research, and reports.
Providers of analytics information we work with include, but are not limited to, the companies listed below. Some of these companies provide users with choices about how they collect and use information. For more information, read their privacy policies:
– Google Analytics
B. Social networking applications and graphical elements.
The company may implement applications or graphical elements (widgets) from third parties on some of its websites and applications, allowing interaction or sharing of content by users. These graphical elements are visible to you on the page you are visiting. The network that provides the graphical element may offer you controls for managing the appearance and functionality of the graphical element. Your interaction with a graphical element typically allows the third party to collect certain information about you, including your IP address, page header information, and browser information. In some cases, the third party may recognize you through the graphical elements, even when you are not interacting with the graphical element but are visiting a website or using an application with the graphical element. The company allows social networking buttons, applications, and graphical elements from the following partners (indicated for reference):
– Facebook
– X
– Instagram
– Tik Tok
– LinkedIn
– Pinterest
C. Video content providers.
The company may provide video content in collaboration with certain video content providers. These providers may display, process, or set their own cookies and collect your IP address, page information, browser information, flash player version, Internet speed, and the portion of the video that was viewed.
8) Cookie.
To ensure the proper functioning of this website, the company may sometimes place small data files on users’ computers, called “cookies.”
A cookie is a file that is stored on your computer, mobile phone, or tablet when you visit any website and may store information such as:
– Your online behavior, your preferences as a user in order to send you (from us, our partners, and/or our advertisers/sponsors) targeted advertising or offers that match your preferences and will continue to be presented to you when you visit a website that matches your interests (behavioral advertising/third-party cookies),
– The pages you visit on the website, as well as any errors that occur on them (performance cookies),
– Analysis of website usage (e.g., Google Analytics),
– The type of browser you use,
– Your internet service provider (ISP),
– Your use of social media, your geographical location (e.g., searching for weather forecasts for a specific city), or storing your username (where necessary) so that you do not need to re-enter it from scratch when you return to our website (functionality cookies).
Our website uses cookies primarily to improve the user experience and provide the highest quality of services to our users.
You are not obligated to accept cookies, and therefore, as an additional measure, you can modify your browser settings to not accept cookies. The browser you use to surf the internet not only allows you to view the cookies you have but also allows you to control their use.
You can control them by allowing them or deleting all or some of them. You can also configure your browser to not accept cookies from any website. You can also configure your browser to ask for your consent before accepting any cookies on your device. This gives you full control over cookies but has the disadvantage of slowing down your internet browsing.
It should be noted that there are different levels of cookie control. Through your browser, you have the option to choose not to receive third-party cookies or behavioral advertising cookies. In some browsers, you can even block specific companies from which you do not want to receive cookies.

10) Applicable law and other terms.
A. The company reserves the right to unilaterally modify or renew this policy and the terms included therein for the protection of personal data. For this reason, users should regularly be informed about the content of this and check for any changes.
In the event that a term or provision of this Policy is deemed void or cancellable, it shall automatically cease to be valid without affecting the validity of the remaining terms. The company will seek to replace any void term with a new valid term, the result of which will be the closest equivalent to the one that was canceled.
