For each visitor of the eadp.info website, we collect as little data about your visit as possible. These few statistics that we collect, are useful to us as we like to know how many unique visitors we reach each month and which pages are of interest to readers. This allows us to make strategic decisions in future on how to update and improve our website so we can engage with our audience even better.

The following information is automatically collected and stored:

The date, time, and referrals from other websites of your visit and if you used a mobile device or computer to access our website. This information is only stored as bulk statistics (e.g., the share of users among all users who visited the website with a mobile device), not on the individual level.

Only the administrators (council members) have access to these data. The information is never shared with external parties.

Our website does not use Google Analytics and Facebook Analytics. However, our website is hosted by Jimdo©, as well as our content management system. We cannot rule out that Jimdo© does use Google Analytics, Facebook Analytics or any other tool to track user’s activity. For more information, please check the Jimdo© privacy policy.
