Reactions
From so simple a beginning offers visitors the possibility to leave a reaction. If you leave a reaction, you are asked to give your name and your email address. Also, your IP-adress and your browser’s user agent string are recorded, to help trace spam.
Reactions are published only after my admission. It is always possible to ask me to remove your reaction.
Google Analytics
The blog keeps track of the number of anonymized visitors via Google Analytics 4, a tool that reveals how many readers visit the blog, what the traffic sources are (direct, organic search, social media or referral) and what pages are viewed. Google Analytics 4 is intended to comply with EU privacy legislation and no consent is required for use for this blog.
You can manage cookies in your internet browser if you object against their use; website visitors who object against anonymized use of their data by Google Analytics have also another ability to prevent their data from being used.
Webhosting
The blog is hosted bij Strato.
Strato will keep visitors’ IP-addresses during seven days at most, to be able to detect and avert cyber attacks. Afterwards, they are anonymized.
