- Data portability: where we are relying upon your consent as the justification for processing your personal data, or the fact that such processing is necessary to perform a contract to which you are party or to take steps at your request prior to entering a contract, and the personal data is processed by automated means, you have the right to receive all such personal data which you have provided us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and also to require us to transmit it to another controller where this is technically feasible.
- Objection or restriction of processing: You may have the right to object to or restrict our processing of your personal data under specific circumstances. Where your personal data is subject to restriction we will only process it with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

The information generated by the cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, Google Analytics provides an IP masking feature, which can be activated by us.
