Moreover, we use Vercel Analytics, a privacy-friendly web analytics service that creates aggregated statistics without using personal identifiers. Vercel Analytics uses aggregated data that cannot be used to identify or re-identify you.

You can opt-out from the aggregated statistics in the cookie settings.

Collecting and using your IP address is necessary for providing our portal demonstrator and its functionalities because it is a technical requirement for ensuring communication between your device and our portal demonstrator. Your IP address is also processed for security, fraud-prevention, abuse-prevention, and troubleshooting purposes.
