What this website collects, why, and how to change your choice. Last updated on 12 October 2026.

Who runs this website

This website is published by the European Reuse Barometer. For any question about your data, write to hello@reusebarometer.eu.

Audience measurement with Google Analytics

With your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, to understand how it is used. The service counts:

  • the number of visits per day and the pages read,
  • the links clicked, including links to other websites,
  • the reports downloaded.

For this, Google Analytics stores cookies on your device (named _ga and _ga_ followed by an identifier) and collects technical data: the pages visited, the time of the visit, the type of device and browser, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. The IP address is shortened before it is stored. The website does not record your name, your email address or any other data that identifies you directly.

Google processes this data on behalf of the European Reuse Barometer, under Google's data processing terms. Part of the processing may take place on servers in the United States. Google LLC takes part in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which the European Commission recognises as providing adequate protection. Google Analytics keeps the detailed data for the retention period set in the tool, which is two months by default; aggregated reports are kept longer.

Your choice

Nothing is measured until you click "Accept" in the banner shown at your first visit. If you click "Decline", no Google Analytics script is loaded and no cookie is set. Your choice is stored in your browser so that the banner is not shown again.

You can change your choice at any time: click "Cookie settings" at the bottom of any page, and the banner appears again. You can also delete the cookies from your browser settings.

Other data

  • Hosting. The website is hosted by Netlify. Like any web server, it processes your IP address and the pages requested in order to deliver them. This is necessary to run the website.
  • Charts. The Facts & figures page loads a chart library from cdnjs.cloudflare.com. Cloudflare receives the technical data of that request, such as your IP address, to serve the file.
  • Videos and fonts. The videos and fonts are stored on this website. No video platform or font service is contacted.
  • Email. If you write to hello@reusebarometer.eu, your message and address are used only to answer you and to follow up on your request.
  • Links to other websites. This website links to the websites of participating companies and partners. Those websites have their own privacy rules.

Your rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you can ask for access to the data concerning you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, object to its processing, and withdraw your consent at any time. Write to hello@reusebarometer.eu. You can also lodge a complaint with the data protection authority of your country.
