WEB ANALYTICS SERVICE MATOMO
This website uses the web analytics service Matomo (formerly Piwik) to help analyse and check how our website is used. We can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you with the statistics we gain.
For this purpose the service, amongst other things, records from which third party website you accessed our site (so-called Referrer-URL). Information about the time of access and the place from which the access was made, your language settings as well as which part of our website you called up, and how often and for how long you looked at a particular part of our website. We gather this information mainly using Cookies which are set by Matomo. Your IP address will also be gathered to ensure the security of the service and to give us, as website operator conclusions about which country, which region or which place the user comes from.
This wesite uses Matomo. With this the IP addresses are ony stored in a shortened form and a direct personal association is excluded. Identification of you, as the user, is thus no longer possible. The IP address transferred from your browser by Matomo will not be linked to the other data we gather nor will any data be passed on to third parties. No individual user profiles will be created from the data processed.
Further details about data protection are available in the data protection declaration of Matomo under https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/ and the DSGVO information under https://matomo.org/gdpr-analytics/.
The legal basis for the use of Cookies from Matomo on your end unit is § 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG. The legal basis for the gathering and further processing of the information gatherred from cookies is in the consent given by the Consent-Manager (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DSGVO). It is possible at any time to withdraw this consent without this affecting the validity of the data processed up to the point where consent was withdrawn. You can withdraw your consent at any time by changing the settings in our Consent-Manager.
