Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Analytics
We use analytics services by Google Analytics to collect information about the use of this website, such as number of visits, pages visited, popularity of certain content. We use this information to gain insights about how to improve the functionality of this website.
Google Analytics uses cookies to recognize your device and compile information about you. They collect information such as what pages you visit and how much time you spend on these pages, what operating system and web browser you use, and what site you visited prior to visiting our website. On our website, we have enabled “IP anonymization” however, so Google Analytics does not record your IP address or any other personal identifying information, and therefore your activities on our website are anonymous.
To completely opt out of Google’s collection of your data on all websites, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that – once installed and enabled – disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site a user visits. To install this browser add-on, go here:
