This website employs Matomo, a web analytics service, to enhance its usage analysis and optimisation. Matomo is hosted on servers managed by ITZBund on behalf of the Federal Statistical Office. When you use the site, a script 'matomo.js' is executed, setting a cookie named 'matomoTracking'.

The processing of data by Matomo is based on user consent, as per Article 6 (1) a) GDPR, in conjunction with Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Matomo generates a unique fingerprint comprising the IP address, visited pages, referrer, subpages, duration of stay, and frequency of calls. However, despite extensive searches, the responsible entity for the technical management of Matomo on ITZBund's web servers could not be identified.

In summary, this website uses Matomo for analytics, with user consent serving as the legal basis. Matomo creates a fingerprint for analysis, but the responsible party for its technical management on ITZBund's servers remains unknown.
