Website statistics and profiling

Website statistics

We use Google Analytics to gather statistics about the use of our website. We use these statistics to improve our website, for instance, to be able to show only the information relevant to you or to confirm that you have understood everything. We will not link these statistics to your personal data and the statistics we gather are anonymised at all times. This also means that we do not share IP addresses with Google and have blocked the sharing of IP addresses with other Google services.

You can use the contact form to submit questions or requests. We will need your email address and a name and address details for this, in order for us to be able to contact you.

When you leave a comment on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.
