The processing activity. Through our webpages and websites, we collect and process Personal Data about you in two ways:

(2) indirect processing, from certain third parties (for example through website analytic technology). Such third parties include for example our affiliates, public authorities, public websites and social media, suppliers and vendors, etc.

Direct processing. Our websites and webpages may collect certain information automatically, such as the type of PC device or operating system you use, the amount of time you spend on our websites and webpages, and information about the way you use our websites and webpages.
