This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by website visitors. This enables us to find out, among other things, when which pages were accessed and from which region. We also record various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. We use Matomo as follows:

  • IP anonymization
    We use IP anonymization for the analysis with Matomo. This means that your IP address is shortened before the analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.
  • Cookie-less analysis
    We have configured Matomo so that it does not store any cookies in your browser.
  • Local integration
    We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.
