We do not use automated decision making.
During the use of our Internet pages, we automatically record and evaluate technical access data. For this purpose we use the tool “Matomo” (formerly “Piwik”), an open source program for web analytics, which evaluates statistical parameters for the use of our website. However, this data cannot be assigned to a specific person; the individual user remains anonymous. Further information about “Matomo” can be found on the website https://matomo.org
This data includes, for example
The IP address shortened by the last two octets,
Information about the Internet browser and operating system used,
the domain name of the website from which a visit to our website is made,
the average time spent on our website, and
the pages called in our website.

Please note that the respective settings regarding cookies are only effective for your currently used device and your currently used browser. If you are using a different device or browser, you will usually have to change the settings again. We also support the “Do not Track” function of your browser. This allows you to actively tell us via your browser settings whether you wish your activities to be recorded or not. If you have activated “Do not Track”, your activities will not be recorded.
The legal basis for the use of Matomo can be found in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our justified interest consists in the fact that we evaluate the use of our Website for their improvement and optimization. The data collected in this way is stored for a period of 24 months.
