What is Google Analytics?


Google Analytics is provided by Google Inc, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc, headquartered in the United States. Before any data collected on this website within the EU/EEA or Switzerland is transmitted to Google, IP addresses undergo anonymization through the « anonymizeIP » feature. Your browser transmits the IP address in an anonymous form. Google Analytics data is not merged with other data collected by Google. In certain circumstances, the complete IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the US and subsequently shortened. Rest assured that we guarantee Google Inc. maintains a sufficient level of data protection. Google Inc. ensures that, under no circumstances, will the IP address be combined with other data associated with you.
