Statistics
We collect statistics about website visits and visitor behavior using the analysis program SIMAnalytics. This data enables us to adapt our website as well as possible to the needs of our visitors.
SIMAnalytics cookies are used to collect, among other things, the following data:
- Which pages you view on the website;
- From which Internet page you arrived at the website;
- When and how long you visit the website;
- From which page you leave the website again;
- The speed at which pages load on your device;
- The browser you are using (such as Chrome, Internet Explorer or Firefox);
- The operating system you are using (such as Windows, iOS, Linux, Android)
- Part of the IP address of your Internet provider. The so-called IP anonymization function is used; here, before the data is stored or processed, the last octet of the IP address is deleted (for example, the 55 in 192.168.1.55). As a result, the statistical data generated cannot be traced back to a PC or an individual.
