6 Analysis Tools Used

6.1 Matomo (based on Logfiles)

This website uses Matomo (formerly Piwik), an open-source software for the statistical evaluation of visitor access. Provider of the Matomo software is InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand.

Using the locally installed analysis tool, we evaluate user behavior locally on the server. Matomo does not collect the data itself but accesses the web server’s database. The web server shortens each requesting IP address before storing it in the logfile. This ensures that the data is sufficiently anonymized and no conclusions about individual persons are possible.

6.2 Matomo (based on Cookies)

Matomo uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is stored on a server in Germany. We have configured Matomo so that no profiling takes place.

The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before storage by truncating the last 2 bytes. You have the option of preventing cookies from being installed by changing your browser settings. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.

Further information on the privacy settings of Matomo software can be found at the following link: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, this happens automatically after 6 months.

You can object to the processing of data by Matomo in three different ways:

You can completely prevent the storage of cookies in your browser. This may mean that you cannot use some functions of our website that require identification.
You can activate the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser. We have configured Matomo to respect this setting.
You can create an opt-out cookie below with a mouse click, which is valid for two years. This will prevent Matomo from recording your further visits. However, please note that the opt-out cookie will be deleted if you delete all cookies.
