Matomo Analytics

Matomo Analytics collects information about how you use our website, such as the pages you visit, the time you spend on pages, what you click on, and other information about your browser, device, and IP address. Matomo anonymizes your IP address before it’s stored, and the anonymized data is stored on our servers, not on Matomo’s servers.

If you wish to opt-out of tracking by Matomo, you can do so by using the Matomo opt-out function. You can adjust the settings to your liking through the Privacy Settings page.

We respect your privacy rights and provide you with reasonable access and choices regarding the personal data that you provide to us. You may opt-out of tracking by Matomo by either adding the shortcode

Opt-out complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analytics tool. Note that if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or if you change computers or Web browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out procedure again.
