Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files stored on your computer, to enable the analysis of how users use the website. The information regarding your use of this website, collected via cookies, is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA. IP anonymisation is enabled on this website; consequently, Google will truncate the user’s IP address within the Member States of the European Union, as well as in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to, and partially masked on, servers in the USA. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide the website operator with other services relating to website usage and internet traffic to the site. Google will not associate the IP address transmitted by your browser via Google Analytics with any other data held by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the relevant settings in your browser. Please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the features of this website. You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookies and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following web address:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Please note that the use of the plug-in is limited to the relevant browser and computer, and once installed, it cannot be deleted in order to maintain the deactivation of Google Analytics. Google’s privacy policy can be found athttp://www.google.com/intl/bg/policies/privacy/. You can also opt out of data collection by Google Analytics by clicking onthe followinglink. An opt-out cookie will be created on your computer, which prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website.

Facebook
This website uses Social Plugins (‘Plugins’) from the social networkfacebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Plugins can be recognised by the Facebook logo (a white ‘f’ on a blue background or a ‘thumbs-up’ icon) or are labelled ‘Facebook Social Plugin’. When you visit a web page, your browser will immediately establish a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of this plugin will be transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser, which will then integrate it into the web page. Arms-bg.com has no control over the amount of data that Facebook collects via these plugins. We are therefore providing you with information via the following link, based solely on what we know:http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=17512. When you interact with these plugins, Facebook receives information that the relevant page or platform on our website has been visited. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook may associate this visit with your profile. If you interact with these plugins (for example, by clicking the ‘Like’ button), the relevant information will be immediately transmitted from your browser to Facebook and stored there. Even if you are not registered with Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to identify your IP address and store it. These Facebook Plugins can be embedded by website operators on their own websites or platforms. With a single click on these plugins, users registered with Facebook can automatically post a message on their Facebook profile stating that they like the content linked to by the website operator. The Facebook plugin ‘communicates’ continuously with Facebook and, when the website is visited, sends data to Facebook – even if the user has not clicked on the plugin. If the user is not logged into Facebook or is not registered there at all, a cookie is still placed on their device; this cannot be recognised, for example as B7dcTqgWq3fuDgIIFw47QPIO, and is valid for two years. If the browser later connects to the social network’s server again, the cookie is transferred and may help to create a profile. For users who register at a later date, it is also possible to link this to the information contained in the cookie. If the user is logged into Facebook during the current session, information is transmitted regarding both the page and the cookie – and it is possible for this session identification information to be linked to the relevant account.

We are not aware of the scope of the data, the purposes for which it is collected, or how it is used by Facebook. For information about your rights and the settings available to protect your personal data, please contact Facebook Inc. or follow Facebook’s privacy policyhere. You can use add-ons to block Facebook social plugins in your browser, for example by using ‘Facebook Blocker’.
