Web Analytics
Like most website operators, ggbn.org collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. GGBN.org’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how GGBN.org’s visitors use its website. From time to time, GGBN may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
GGBN uses Piwik for analyzing its website visits.
Maps
GGBN.org uses OpenStreetMap to display all of its maps.
