Google Analytics is a web analytics service that uses cookies to analyze how you use the website. Cookies are needed to store visitor information, such as the time when you visited the site, whether the visitor has visited the site before, and what other site the visitor came to, and so on.
The generated information about your use of the website is sent to the Google server in Europe or the USA and stored there by Google. Homemade Foundation uses the option to anonymise the IP address so that Google shortens your IP address. This makes individual tracking technically impossible.
Google uses this information to investigate how you use the website to report on activities on the website and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet.
On this page, you can find more information about the Google Analytics service. Google’s Privacy Policy describes how Google handles personal information when using Google’s products and services, including Google Analytics.

Use of ajax.googleapis.com and Google fonts
This website uses, like many pages on the web, the Javascript library jQuery and Google fonts. To increase the loading speed of our website and to give you a better user experience, we use Google’s content delivery network (CDN) to load this library. The likelihood is that you’ve already used jQuery on another page of the Google CDN. If so, your browser can use the cached copy and it does not need to be downloaded again. If your browser has not cached a copy or for any other reason downloads the file from the Google CDN, the data will be transmitted from your browser to Google Inc. (“Google”).
What data Google collects, for what purpose Google collects the data and what Google does with the data collected, is subject to Google’s privacy policy .

These services use cookies and generate general information about your use of the website, which is sent to and stored on the servers of the respective service providers that may be located outside of Europe.
