Counting site visits

We count visits to the site and the portal to improve them: the page, where you came from and your type of device. This happens inside the system itself, with no outside service and no cookies, and your device's address is not kept. A visit cannot be linked to you; its details are deleted after the retention period and only the totals stay.
