Our website uses Matomo. This is a service that enables us to analyze website usage. For this purpose, we track without cookies and use “device fingerprinting”. By means of a minimal digital fingerprint based on a combination of operating system, browser, plug-ins and IP address, unique users can be recognized on the website for a maximum of 24 hours. We use this information to measure user frequency with the aim of improving the attractiveness and functionality of our websites.
Independent of these measures, you can activate or deactivate Do Not Track in your browser settings and thereby make your own determinations regarding the prevention of tracking.
At the website https://allaboutdnt.com/, you will find instructions on how to activate Do Not Track in most of the common browsers.
Your IP address is anonymized during analysis. Prior to analysis, your IP address is truncated so that it can no longer be unambiguously identified.
Matomo is hosted exclusively on our own servers and all analysis data is stored exclusively on these servers. None of this information is shared.
