Reach measurement serves to evaluate the visitor flows of our online offering and may include behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of reach analysis, we can, for example, recognize at what time our online offering or its functions or content are most frequently used or invite reuse. We can also track which areas need adaptation. Which tools we use for reach measurement can be found below.
The processing is carried out according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest. The measurement of reach and the information resulting from it are suitable for adapting the web offering.
We use the locally installed analytical tool Matomo (formerly Piwik) for reach measurement. With the help of this tool, we evaluate user behavior locally on the server. Matomo does not collect data itself, but accesses the database of the web server. The web server shortens each requesting IP address before storing it in the log file. Thus, the database is sufficiently anonymized and conclusions about individual persons are not possible.
We use Matomo (formerly Piwik) on this website, an open-source software for statistical evaluation of visitor access. The provider of the Matomo software is InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. If you have given your consent, Matomo uses cookies that enable an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the internet offering is stored on a server. We have configured Matomo so that no profiling takes place. The use of Matomo is for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. This way we learn how the website is used and can continuously optimize our offering. The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before its storage by shortening the last two bytes.
More detailed information about the privacy settings of the Matomo software can be found at the following link: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/.
