(h) Matomo

(1) Scope and description of the processing of personal data

Our website uses “Matomo” (formerly “Piwik”), a web analytics service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. Matomo stores cookies on your end device, which enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information collected in this way is stored exclusively on our server, namely the following data:

– the website accessed

– the website from which the user accessed the accessed website (referrer)

– the subpages that are called from the called web page

– the time spent on the website

– the frequency with which the website is accessed

Our website uses Matomo with the setting “Anonymous Visitors’ IP addresses”. Thus IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, a direct personal relation is excluded. The software is set in such a way that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Matomo is not merged with other data collected by us.

The legal basis for the processing of the user’s data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO or § 15 para. 3 TMG.
