uMarketingSuite |
uMarketingSuiteAnalyticsVisitorId |
Analytics On our website we use the uMarketingSuite. This is add-on software from uMarketingSolutions, which allows us, through the use of a cookie, to analyse the website behavior of the website visitor. Based on this information, we can improve the user experience and personalise content for each specific website visitor. In order to do so, we process, amongst other things, your anonymized IP address, cookie ID, website and clicking behavior, how you got to visit our website and your browser data. uMarketingSuite has no access to this personal data. A/B Testing uMarketingSuite allows us, through the use of a cookie, to test different versions of a page to see which one performs best. This so-called A/B testing is being done anonymously and based on randomness each visitor gets assigned a version of the page. The version that the visitor sees is stored in database and linked to the uMarketingSuite cookie. uMarketingSuite has no access to any personal data. Personalisation allows us, through the use of a cookie to personalize your website experience. Depending on previous behavior on our website, or the way you've entered the website the uMarketingSuite allows us to show different content or pages. Based on the uMarketingSuite cookie we collect the behavioral data and by the personalization module within the uMarketingSuite we have the ability to personalise the content for an individual visitor. |
