We use this tool to analyze our visitors’ interaction with our website and improve it based on the data collected. Google Analytics on this Website makes use of a feature called User ID. This provides a basis for user tracking by associating unique users with the same ID over various sessions and devices. This integration of Google Analytics anonymizes your IP address and, therefore, doesn’t allow Google to personally identify an individual. It works by shortening users’ IP addresses within the European Union’s member states or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
