Website analysis by Matomo
We use Matomo (formerly Piwik) on this website, a free tool for analysing the clicking behaviour of our users. This allows us to see, for example, where people go from the home page, how long they spend on average on a page, or which links are rarely or never clicked. This helps us to continuously improve the site.
For this purpose, a small text file, known as a cookie, is stored on your computer, and your browser version, length of stay, screen resolution and similar parameters are queried, graphically processed and deleted after anonymous evaluation. Your IP address is always anonymised and never stored in full. All data remains on our own server.
However, we naturally respect your desire for privacy. If you do not want us to collect your click behaviour anonymously in this context, you can opt out here.
Additional Cookies
We also use cookies for your language settings.
Social Media
For the social media links below our articles, we use the Shariff plugin, a privacy-friendly alternative to conventional Facebook and Twitter buttons. Only when you click one of the buttons will data exchange with the relevant platform be initiated and cookies set accordingly.
Web server log files
Log files are only stored on our server in the event of a technical malfunction and are automatically deleted after 2 months. The data collected in this process is as follows:
Your operating system
Your internet service provider
Information about your browser type and the version used
Your IP address
Date and time of access
The website from which you accessed our website
Websites that you visit via our website
At no time is this data linked to other personal data (such as your name or email address).
