We use the privacy-friendly analytics software Umami to improve our website and understand how it is used. No tracking cookies are set and no personal data is stored. Your IP address is anonymised immediately and irreversibly and cannot be traced back to you.

The anonymised visitor statistics are stored on our own secure server in the Netherlands and automatically deleted after 37 months. We do not profile visitors or track them across websites, and we never share the data with third parties or advertising networks.
