11. ANALYSETOOL

Matomo
This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo for simple reach measurement. It allows me to see which pages have been accessed. Matomo uses technologies that allow cross-page recognition of the user to analyze user behavior (which could be cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on the servers of my service provider and no cookies are set. The IP address is anonymized before it is stored. Every 6 months, the data stored by Matomo is automatically deleted.
With the help of Matomo, I can collect and analyze data about the use of my website by website visitors. This allows me to find out, for example, when which pages were accessed by and from which region they come. I also collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks).
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. I have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to optimize my website.
Matomo is hosted exclusively on the servers of my service provider (see above), so that all analysis data remains with me and is not passed on.
