Matomo

If you permit these cookies, the programme records information about your usage of our site which is aggregated with other users' data for generating usage statistics. We use these statistics to improve the website's usability and the usefulness of its content. These statistics are saved for a couple of years. To protect your privacy, the last half of your IP-address is omitted when saving data to our server. For us, this information is insufficient to identify a person.

In this case an opt-out-cookie will be saved in your browser programme which will tell the Matomo service not to record any data during your visits. If you delete all cookies, the Matomo opt-out-cookie will be deleted, too.
