Google Analytics with IP anonymisation (Google Inc.)
Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google uses personal data collected for the purpose of tracking and analysing the use of this application, compiling reports and sharing them with other services developed by Google.

Google can use the personal data to contextualise and personalise ads on its advertising network.

VEBI ISTITUTO BIOCHIMICO adopts this feature of Google Analytics for deleting the IP address of users. IP anonymisation truncates the IP address of users in the Member States of the European Union and in other countries adhering to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the IP address is sent to Google servers and truncated in the United States.
