Web Analytics via Matomo (formerly Piwik)

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo for statistical purposes in order to record and analyse the use of our website by visitors.

IP anonymisation:
When analysing data with Matomo, we use IP anonymisation, whereby your IP address is shortened so that it can no longer be clearly attributed to you.
Cookie-free analysis: We have configured Matomo so that Matomo does not store cookies in your browser.

We host Matomo exclusively on our own server (see "Web Host" above), so that all analytics data remains with us and is not passed on to third parties.
