9 Web analysis via Matomo (formerly PIWIK)

9.1 Scope of personal data processing

We use the open-source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website in order to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software places a cookie on the user's computer (see above for further information concerning cookies). If individual pages of our website are visited, the following data is stored:

a. Two bytes of the IP address belonging to the user's system.

b. The visited website

c. The website from which they accessed the visited website (referrer)

The software is configured in such a way that the IP addresses are not fully stored; 2 bytes of the IP address are hidden (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). This method ensures that it is no longer possible to allocate the abbreviated IP address to the visiting computer.
