Google Analytics. Using this service helps me to understand how users use our website and, as a result, allows me to improve it on the basis of the collected statistical data. The information is collected automatically and, in principle, it is not associated with your other data that is processed by Google. Despite this, to ensure the confidentiality of your data, I use, among other things, the function of shortening the IP address of user terminal equipment.
