6. Google Analytics

This website may use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics helps the website operator understand how visitors use the website, which pages are visited most often, how users find the website and how content can be improved.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect usage information. This information may be processed by Google on servers outside Switzerland.

The website operator uses Google Analytics to evaluate website performance and reader interest, not to identify individual visitors personally.

Google Analytics 4 is designed to provide privacy-related controls. According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses. IP addresses may be used briefly to derive approximate location data before being discarded.

7. Ahrefs

This website may use Ahrefs tools for search engine optimisation, technical website monitoring, content analysis, backlink analysis and website performance review.

Ahrefs may be used to:

  • identify technical SEO issues;
  • check broken links;
  • analyse website visibility in search engines;
  • monitor backlinks;
  • understand organic search performance;
  • improve content structure and discoverability.

Ahrefs tools may crawl publicly accessible pages of the website in a similar way to search engine crawlers. This helps identify SEO problems and improve the website’s technical quality.

If Ahrefs Web Analytics is installed on the website, it may collect aggregated website usage information. According to Ahrefs, its Web Analytics product is privacy-friendly and does not use cookies or collect personal data by default.

The exact data processed may depend on the Ahrefs product used and its configuration. If additional tracking features are activated in the future, this Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy should be updated accordingly.
