Server-Side Data Processing

The website uses server-side tracking infrastructure for the following purposes:
  • limiting direct communication between the browser and external service providers;
  • improving security and control over processing;
  • more reliable measurement of analytics and advertising events;

The server-side tagging infrastructure is managed through Stape.io as an independent provider of infrastructure services for server-side Google Tag Manager.
The server environment used is configured with servers located within the European Union, including an EU server region in Germany, in order to limit the transfer of information outside the European Union at the server-processing level and minimise unnecessary cross-border data flows.
The configuration used has been selected to avoid direct deployment in Google Cloud Platform by the website administrator.
Nevertheless, when analytics and advertising platforms such as Google Analytics, Google Ads and Meta are used, certain data may be processed by the respective providers in accordance with their own policies, infrastructure and mechanisms for international data transfers.
