Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a small file sent with every page you visit on our site and stored on your computer or device.
When you use our website, you automatically agree to the use of cookies.
What kind of cookies do we use?
On our website, we use both functional cookies, analytical cookies and tracking cookies. The functional cookies ensure, for instance, that we remember that you have clicked away the cookie notification or have scrolled through. We use analytical and tracking cookies to gather insights into website visits (statistics) to continuously improve our website and provide you with the best possible experience. We do not use tracking cookies ourselves to track you across the internet. External cookies may do so, but we have no control over this.
Google Analytics
When you visit our website, a cookie is placed by the American company Google as part of their “Analytics” service. We use this service to keep track of and receive reports on how visitors use the website. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. We have no influence over this. We have not allowed Google to use the analytics information obtained for other Google services.
The information Google collects is anonymised as much as possible. Your IP address is explicitly not given (anonymised). The information is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google adheres to the Privacy Shield principles and is a member of the US Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield program. This implies an appropriate level of protection for the processing of any personal data.”

Google reCAPTCHA
We use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc (Google) to protect data sent via this website. This function checks whether a message is sent by a person in order to prevent ‘spam bots’ from, for example, automatically sending messages or leaving comments. This involves sending a visitor’s IP address and possibly other data to make Google reCAPTCHA work. The content of a message is sent to and processed by Google for this purpose. The IP address is thereby abbreviated and thus rendered anonymous in countries that are part of the EU and states participating in the Convention for the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases, an IP address is transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the owner of this website, Google uses this data to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by reCAPTCHA is not merged with other Google data.
The collection of this data is subject to Google’s data protection rules. More information about Google’s privacy policy can be found on this page: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/
By using reCAPTCHA, you agree to Google processing data about you in the manner and for the purpose described above.
Sharing via social media
Our website includes icons in various places to promote web pages by sharing on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. These buttons work by employing pieces of code originating from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, respectively. Cookies may be placed by means of this code. We have no influence over this. Please read the privacy statements of Facebook, LinkedIn, Google and Twitter (which may change frequently) to read what they do with your (personal) data that they process with cookies.
