Web analytics

DATATECH uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and stats.is for web analytics on its websites, only where the user has accepted statistics cookies through our consent banner. On each visit to our website, a number of details are recorded, such as the time and date, search terms, the referring website and the type of browser and operating system. This information may be used to improve and develop the website, for example to understand which content users are most interested in. No attempt is or will be made to obtain further information about individual visits or to link them to personally identifiable information.

We also use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, which collect anonymous data about the website's performance (loading speed, errors and so on) without using cookies.
