A frequently asked question is how these statistics can work without cookies and be truly anonymous. In this document we'll explain more aboutFew readersHandling & securing Data

When clicking through a magazine, it could happen that user interaction in the publication is noticed, causing the autoplay functionality to work (even with sound!).
