- Website feedback toolDe UT uses the GetFeedback (former Usabilla) tool to collect website feedback. Usabilla is a Dutch university spin-off. For website visitors Website visitors can submit their feedback anonymously. Submitting feedback anonymously increased the amount of received feedback by 1000%. We always receive technical specs like browser versions because this is, in most cases, necessary to understand and solve the reported issues. Although this type of feedback usually collects IP addresses, we turned that feature off because we are not interested in that information. If you do not see the feedback flag on utwente.nl/... websites, you are probably blocking cookies. For admins of UT websites and systems The GetFeedback flag to submit feedback is by default available in all official UT websites built in the UT Content Management System WebHare. It has been defined as an analytics tool and is therefore available on the page when the visitor accepts analytics cookies. Options for websites and systems outside Webhare We recommend
