We collect visit and behaviour data on the website’s users. This information is not personally identifiable. We do not disclose the data to any third parties.
Analytics cookies collect data on how the website is used. They also gather data on things such as site visits, page loads, site loading times and site navigation. We may use this data to develop the website’s useability and content, among other things. On our website, we use the third-party analytics software Matomo, which places a tracking cookie on the user’s device. The service provider for Matomo is Digia.
