Google Analytics

The Analytics cookies that we use come from Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. We have entered into a processing agreement with Google, for a correct processing in accordance with privacy legislation. Within Google Analytics, we have anonymized IP addresses, and turned off data sharing with Google. Also, no use is made of other Google services in combination with Google Analytics cookies.

In order to be sure that the request for review has been made by you, we ask that you send a copy of your ID with the request.

This is for the protection of your privacy. We will respond to your request as soon as possible, but within four weeks at the latest.
