5. Web Analysis

We use the open source software by Matomo by InnoCraft Ltd from New Zealand on our website to analyze user behavior when visiting our site and to optimize our site and its content accordingly based on this. In doing so, we do not receive any information that directly identifies you.

In the Matomo variant we use, precautions are taken using DoNotTrack technology (see www.donottrack.us), with the result that your website visit is not recorded if you have indicated in your Internet browser settings that you do not wish to be tracked..

In connection with the use of Matomo, cookies are used that enable a statistical analysis of the use of this website by your visits. In the cookie, information – including personal information – about your visitor behavior is stored and processed using a pseudonym in a usage profile for the purpose of analysis. Since Matomo is hosted on our own server, processing by third parties is not required for the analysis.

The data obtained in the process will not be used to identify you personally without your separately granted consent and the data will not be merged with personal data about you as the bearer of the pseudonym.

Insofar as IP addresses are collected, they are anonymized immediately after collection by deleting the last number block.

The data processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para.1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO for the purpose of optimizing our online offer and our web presence.

You have the option to prevent actions you take here from being analyzed and linked. This will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and improving usability for you and other users.

Opt-out complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analytics tool. Note that if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or if you change computers or Web browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out procedure again.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

The tracking opt-out feature requires cookies to be enabled.

The social media buttons are integrated using the so-called Shariff Solution. This solution developed by Heise and c’t prevents a connection to a social network simply because you call up a page with a Social-Media-Button without activating it. This means that information is only transmitted to the social network when you click on the button.
