Web Analytics with Matomo

Our website uses a self-hosted installation of Matomo (formerly Piwik) to analyse website usage. The software uses cookies – text files which are stored on your device. The information collected is stored on our server located in Switzerland.

The IP addresses are shortened and made anonymous. This shortening means that the IP address does not refer back to a specific person.
