Matomo uses technologies that enable cross-page recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before storage.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about how visitors use our website. This allows us to find out, among other things, when page views were made and which region they came from. We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).

IP anonymization

We use IP anonymization for analysis with Matomo. This means that your IP address is truncated before analysis, so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.
