As an important part of our work to create a user-friendly website, we analyze the usage patterns of those who visit the site. To analyze this information, we use the analytics tool Google Analytics.
Google Analytics uses cookies (small text files stored on the user’s device), which register users’ IP addresses and provide information about the individual user’s behavior on the web. Examples of what this data can tell us include: how many people visit different pages, how long the visit lasts, which websites users come from, and which browsers are used. None of the cookies allow us to link this information to you as an individual.
The information collected by Google Analytics is stored on Google’s servers in the USA. Received data is subject to Google’s privacy policy.
An IP address is defined as personal data because it can be traced back to a specific hardware device and thereby to an individual. We use a Google Analytics tracking code that anonymizes the IP address before the information is stored and processed by Google. As a result, the stored IP address cannot be used to identify the individual user.
