We use web analytics services to constantly improve our website, so that we can offer you an even better service in future. These web analytics services use tracking technologies to identify areas with potential for improvement and to ensure that the design of our website suits users’ needs.
For our website, we use:
Google Analytics is a tool of Google LLC, Mountain View (CA), USA (“Google”). The cookies used by Google Analytics are stored on your computer or mobile device and enable your use of our web to be analyzed.
The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website, such as your browser type and version, which operating system you use, the website that led you to our page (referrer URL), your computer’s IP address and the time of the server request, is sent to and stored on a Google server (generally in the USA). Please note that for this website an anonymization step has been added in Google Analytics to ensure that IP addresses are logged anonymously (IP masking). The activation of IP anonymization for this website means that Google will only store your IP address in truncated form within a member state of the European Union or another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. As such, it is not possible to identify your devices. Only in exceptional circumstances will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will not combine the IP address transmitted by your browser in connection with Google Analytics with any other data. You can find further information on the terms of service for Google Analytics and data protection at: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/ and https://policies.google.com.
