§ 4 Supplementary data protection information

Matomo collects and processes data such as the visitor's IP address, the browser used, the device type, the pages visited and the time spent on the pages. This data is analyzed anonymously and aggregated to provide us with insights into user behavior and to optimize our website.
Since Matomo does not use cookies, no personal data is stored or transferred to third parties. The IP address is anonymized by removing the last two bytes to prevent unambiguous assignment.
