Use of the Matomo analysis tool

We use the web analysis service Matomo. We use Matomo to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the above-mentioned purposes.

To carry out the analysis, Matomo generates a unique identifier for each user, which is created from the data transmitted by the user’s browser, such as operating system, browser, browser plug-ins, IP address and browser language.

This website uses Matomo with an extension to pseudonymize IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that they cannot be directly traced back to a person. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Matomo is neither merged with other data collected by us nor passed on to third parties.

If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

• two bytes of the IP address of your calling system
• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• the website accessed
• the website from which you visit us (referrer URL) – unless your browser prohibits this
• the pages and files that you access on our website
• if applicable, the website you visit after ours (if you click on an external link on our website)
• Date and time of your access
• Your time spent on the website
• the frequency with which you visit the website
• Your location (country)

As part of our web analysis, the following cookies are placed on your computer with your consent.

“confirm_tracking”, “confirm_cookies”: technically necessary cookies to distinguish between users who have consented to tracking and those who have rejected it. Expiry time: 30 days

The Matomo software and the data collected using Matomo are operated, stored and processed exclusively on our own servers.

Objection to the use of the Matomo analysis tool

If you do not agree to the storage and analysis of the pseudonymized data from your visit, you can object to the storage and use at any time via our data protection manager.

In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie (deactivation cookie) is stored in your browser, which means that Matomo no longer collects any session data.

In addition, the “Do not track” function is activated in our Matomo installation. If your browser supports this function and you have activated it in your browser settings, Matomo will not collect any data, even if you have consented to tracking.

The user ID stored for tracking purposes is deleted after 24 hours.
