Matomo

Our website uses Matomo. This is open-source software with which we can analyze the use of our site. Data such as your anonymised  IP address, the pages you visit, the website from which you came (referrer URL, domain only), the duration of your visit, and the frequency of your visits is processed.

  • We use Matomo with the “Automatically Anonymize Visitor IPs” function. This anonymization function truncates your IP address by two bytes so that it is impossible to assign it to you or to the internet connection you are using.
  • We use “Force tracking without cookies".
  • We keep the data for 180 days.
