We use statistical cookies to optimize the website experience for our users. With these statistical cookies we get insights in the usage of our website. We ask your permission to place statistical cookies.
Where you have permitted the use of statistical cookies, we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The data controller for users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). We use Google Analytics 4 to collect statistical information about how our Digital Services are used without personally identifying you. Google Analytics services involve the use of cookies that collect information such as your IP address or other identifiers, browser information, and information about the content you view and interact with to record how you use our Digital Services.
Google Analytics 4 has IP anonymisation enabled by default. Due to IP anonymisation, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Please note that we only collect the following data elements through Google Analytics 4 (GA4):
These analytics services help us to know how many users we have, which parts of our sites are most popular, what browsers are used (so we can maximize compatibility), the country or region where our users are located, and the demographics and interests of our users. This enables us to better understand who is using our Digital Services and to improve how we present content on the Digital Services.
The information collected by means of the cookies about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google Analytics 4 cookies may retain information for up to two years. For more information about Google Analytics 4 services, please click here.
