Use of the HubSpot web analytics tool

Momenta uses the HubSpot web analytics tool to measure and analyze website traffic.

This data is collected in anonymized form so that it can no longer be traced back to a user. In particular, this is done by anonymizing the IP address.

Cookies are used for metrics to enable website usage to be analyzed. In particular, Momenta uses them to improve data quality. The information generated about the use of websites is transmitted anonymized to the statistics server, which is operated by HubSpot Inc.
Only authorized persons have access to this anonymized data.
