Privacy policy for the use of Matomo
We use the web tracking tool “Matomo”. Matomo is an open source tool for traffic analysis. We use Matomo on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (a) GDPR.
If you have given your consent and the storage of cookies in your browser is not prevented, Matomo will be used to analyze the use of the website through the use of “cookies”. Your data is stored on our own server and therefore in Germany and is not passed on to third parties. We have set up Matomo so that your IP address is only processed in abbreviated form, thereby reducing the personal nature of the data, but it is still possible to roughly localize it, for example. Your data will not be stored for longer than 2 months.
