Information through Web Analytics and Cookies
Hofseth may use the analysis tool Google Analytics to analyze user behavior on this website.

Google Analytics may use cookies (small text files stored on the user’s computer) that record users’ IP addresses and provide information about individual users’ movements on the web, such as how many visits to different pages, how long the visits last, what websites the users come from, and what browsers are used.

An IP address is defined as personal data because it can be traced back to a specific piece of hardware and thus to an individual. Hofseth may use Google Analytics’ tracking code that anonymizes the IP address before the information is stored and processed by Google. Thus, the stored IP address cannot be used to identify the individual user.
