Google Analytics for visitor statistics

We use Google Analytics to analyse visitor statistics at uhr.se. We use this information as a basis for improving and developing the website. Google Analytics creates cookies with information about the usage of the site. That information is passed on and stored by Google.

We have restricted the collection by setting the tool to remove the last digits of the visitor's IP address before storing the data with Google.

Hotjar for web analytics

We also use the Hotjar tool for analysing visitors navigation and sometimes for surveys and user feedback forms. The information helps us see what content is of interest to our visitors. Hotjar creates cookies when you visit Utbyten.se, as well as when you click and / or respond to a user survey. The information is forwarded to Hotjar. All data is presented in anonymized form.

Even here we have set the tool so that the last digits of the IP address are deleted before storage.

Youtube

We have embedded movies from our Youtube channels on the site. When playing the movies, cookies are used by Youtube.com.
