Audience measurement with Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-4MJSGB4RZT) only after you accept analytics. Where consent is required, it is the legal basis for this processing. The service helps understand which pages are viewed, how visitors arrive on the website, and how the website performs.

Depending on your browser and Google Analytics configuration, processed data may include viewed pages, referrer, date and time, approximate location derived from the IP address, device and browser characteristics, interactions, and identifiers stored in first-party cookies. The website does not use Google Analytics for advertising or ad personalisation, and Google signals are disabled in the tag configuration.

Consent and storage

Analytics storage and all advertising-related Consent Mode parameters are denied by default. The Google Analytics tag is not downloaded and no analytics data is sent before you accept. If you refuse or withdraw consent, analytics remain disabled and this website attempts to remove its _ga cookies.

Your choice is stored only in your browser’s local storage for up to six months, so that the website can remember it. This preference is strictly necessary to apply your choice and is not used for tracking. You can change it at any time through the Privacy button displayed on the website. Clearing your browser data will also reset the choice.

Recipients, transfers, and retention

When analytics are accepted, data is processed by Google as the analytics provider and may be processed outside your country. Google describes its safeguards and processing terms in its Business Data Responsibility information and Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics cookies may remain for up to two years unless they are deleted earlier or their lifetime is shortened by Google Analytics settings. Event-level data is retained according to the retention period configured for the GA4 property; aggregated reports may be kept for longer.

Your rights

You may withdraw your analytics consent at any time. Subject to the law applicable to you, you may also request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or objection to the processing of your personal data, and lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection authority. Contact the data controller using the address above to exercise these rights.
