Matomo Analytics on Website: User Data Collection Explained

This website utilises Matomo, a web analytics service, to improve user experience and optimise usage. User consent, as per Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, is the basis for this processing.

Matomo operates on servers managed by 'ITZBund' on behalf of the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis). It generates a unique user fingerprint comprising IP address, visited pages, referrer, subpages, duration of stay, and access frequency.

The service initiates the script 'matomo.js' and sets a cookie named 'matomoTracking' to facilitate this analysis. Despite extensive search, no specific individual or entity was identified as responsible for operating Matomo on 'ITZBund' servers under contract with Destatis.

In summary, Matomo's use on this website is based on user consent and involves the collection of specific user data for analytical purposes. The service is hosted by 'ITZBund' on behalf of Destatis, with the responsible operator remaining unidentified.
