6. Analytics & Tracking Services

Matomo Web Analytics (self-hosted)

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo, operated on our own server at webstat.it-nietzsch.de. No data is transferred to third parties or third countries.

Matomo is configured to set no cookies and to store only anonymised data:

• Your IP address is shortened (anonymised) by at least 2 bytes before storage – identification of you as a person is not possible.
• No tracking cookies are set; data collection is cookieless.
• Referrer URLs are stored reduced to the domain only.
• URL parameters that could contain personal data (e.g. email, name, phone number) are automatically excluded from collection.
• Raw data is automatically deleted after 180 days.
• Your browser's "Do Not Track" setting is respected; if active, you will not be tracked.

Since no cookies or comparable storage/read operations take place on your device, no consent under § 25 TTDSG is required for this processing.

Purpose: Anonymous statistical evaluation of website usage to improve our offering.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a needs-based, user-friendly design of our website).
Right to object: You may object to this processing at any time (Art. 21 GDPR) by contacting us via the contact details above or by enabling the "Do Not Track" function in your browser.

Google Analytics 4

Note: Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is currently not in use – the technical integration is prepared but is not currently used and would – if activated in the future – take place exclusively after your express consent. The provider would be Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter "Google"). Without consent, neither Google Analytics scripts will be loaded nor cookies set.

Google Analytics uses cookies (including _ga, _ga_<ID>, retention period of up to 2 years) as well as similar technologies to analyse the use of the website. In particular, a shortened (anonymised) IP address, device and browser information, approximate region, and usage behaviour (e.g. pages accessed, time spent) are processed. We have activated IP anonymisation; advertising/remarketing functions are disabled.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG (consent). You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future – via the link "🍪 Cookie settings" in the footer or the button below.

Transfer to third countries: In this process, data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; in addition, standard contractual clauses are in place (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR). A residual risk of access by US authorities cannot be entirely ruled out.
