8. Matomo Analytics without Cookies
This website uses Matomo Analytics for statistical analysis of website usage. Matomo helps me understand which pages are accessed, which content is relevant and how the website can be improved technically and in terms of content.
Matomo is used in a privacy-friendly configuration. The analysis is carried out without tracking cookies. The IP address is anonymized before it is stored or evaluated. No personal user profiles are created for advertising purposes.
Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in the statistical analysis and improvement of this website. Since Matomo is used without cookies and with anonymized IP addresses, in my assessment no prior consent via a cookie banner is required.
If you do not want statistical tracking, you can activate the “Do Not Track” function in your browser, provided that it is respected by the website configuration.
9. Google Search Console
I use Google Search Console, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to analyze the technical findability of this website in Google Search.
Google Search Console does not set tracking cookies for visitors on this website. It provides aggregated information about how this website is found in Google Search, such as search queries, impressions, clicks and technical indexing information.
The use of Google Search Console is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in search engine optimization, technical monitoring and improvement of the website.

According to the current configuration, this website does not use any technically unnecessary tracking cookies. If technically necessary cookies are used, they serve only the secure and functional operation of the website.
Matomo is used without cookies. According to the current configuration, no tracking or marketing services requiring consent are used. Therefore, no cookie consent banner is currently used.
If cookies or comparable technologies requiring consent are used in the future, appropriate consent will be obtained before they are used.
