This website may include links that allow you to share content on social media platforms such as X (Twitter), Facebook, or LinkedIn. These links are provided for convenience only and do not imply any official presence or endorsement by those platforms.

12. Embedded Google Maps

This website may include embedded maps from Google Maps using iframe elements with lazy loading. These maps are only loaded when a user scrolls near them, which reduces immediate tracking. However, once loaded, your browser connects to Google servers and may transmit data such as your IP address, device information, and browser type.

Google may also set cookies or use similar technologies when the embed is activated. We do not control the data collected by Google, nor do we store or access it. For more information, please see the Google Privacy Policy.
