Reach Measurement with Independent Analytics

This website uses the WordPress plugin Independent Analytics to
analyze the usage of our website. The analysis takes place
within our own WordPress installation. The
statistical data generated in the process is stored in our WordPress database and is not
transmitted to external analytics services.

Independent Analytics collects, in particular, statistical information regarding
page views, visitors, and sessions; pages viewed;
referral sources; and the devices and browsers used. In addition,
approximate geographic data such as country, region, or city can be determined
and analyzed statistically.

To distinguish returning visitors, Independent Analytics
processes the visitor’s IP address along with the browser’s user agent and
a random value (“salt”). A visitor identifier is then generated using a hashing process
. This generated identifier is stored; the IP address itself
is not stored in the Analytics database.

To determine the approximate geographic location, the IP address
may also be processed technically. The geographic information derived from this—
—such as the country, region, or city,
—is stored, but not the IP address itself.

Independent Analytics does not use
analytics cookies to measure reach. According to the provider, data is collected without
transmitting statistical data to external analytics servers.

Data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Our legitimate interest lies in the data-minimal statistical
analysis of our website’s usage in order to improve the content, user-friendliness
, and technical delivery of our website.
