This website uses Matomo, an open source, self-hosted software to collect anonymous usage data for this website.

The data on visitor behaviour is collected to identify any problems such as pages not found, search engine problems or unpopular pages.

(layout changes, new content, etc.)

Matomo processes the following data:

  • Cookies

  • Pseudo-anonymised location (based on the anonymised IP address)
  • Date and time
  • Title of the page accessed
  • URL of the page accessed
  • URL of the previous page (if this is permitted)
  • Screen resolution

  • Files that have been clicked and downloaded
  • External links
  • Duration of the page layout
  • Country, region, city (with low accuracy due to IP address)
  • Main language of the browser
  • User agent of the browser
  • Interactions with forms (but not their content)

Without the data we would not be able to provide the service. Your data will only be used to improve the use of the website.
