We use the web analytics tool Microsoft Clarity, provided by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.
Clarity helps us analyze how visitors interact with our website so we can improve user experience and site layout. The tool records mouse movements, clicks, scrolling behavior, and technical details such as browser type, device information, and screen resolution. The data is processed in a pseudonymized form, meaning no directly identifiable personal information - such as your name, email address, or full IP address (if anonymized) - is stored.
The processing of data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits data processing for legitimate interests—in this case, our interest in optimizing our website.
You may disable Microsoft Clarity at any time via your cookie preferences.
