What is a cookie?
Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual’s browser from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognised and identified by the unique cookie ID.
Privacy
Pages on the NSG website – nuclearsuppliergroup.org and nsg-online.org (including sub-domains) – do not collect any personal data and do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information about the visitor. Cookies are used on the NSG website just to track visits, using an anonymized version of the Google Analytics tool to collect visitors’ geographic location at a country level and not a city or district level.
Privacy Policy for the use of Google Analytics
As noted above, the NSG website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. As IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all features of this website to the fullest extent possible. In addition, you may prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including the IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install:
