Other analytical technologies used by Privacy Company

For our website analytics we use Matomo, a privacy-friendly analytics tool. This tool will collect some data from your browser. This includes your IP address, your browser version and the screen resolution settings of your computer. Please see our privacy statement for a detailed list of collected data. Collecting these details allows us to make sure that our website is displayed properly to all our visitors.

We take various measures to minimise the impact of these analytics on your privacy. We have configured both Matomo and HelpDocs in such a way that they anonymise the IP address information from your requests. We have also disabled ‘live features’ in Matomo as recommended by privacy authorities and have disabled the use of cookies by Matomo. Due to these measures, the impact of our analytics on your privacy is very limited and you do not need to give consent for them.

Tracking cookies

Tracking cookies are cookies that inform us of your browsing behaviour, or cookies that provide us with information about other websites you may have visited. These cookies are often used by other sites to show you targeted advertisements. Tracking cookies require your explicit consent due to their impact on your privacy. We do not use tracking cookies.

Adapt cookie settings 

If you prefer not to be included in our Matomo analytics, we encourage you to turn on the Do Not Track feature ("ask websites not to track") in your browser. If Do Not Track is enabled, Matomo will not store any details of your visit. For more information about Do Not Track and how to turn it on in your browser, see the website of: All About Do Not Track.

If you want to make sure that all cookies are blocked, you can also set that through your browser settings. Check out these low-level tutorial videos by browser type. Please note that if you block all cookies, you will not be able to use Privacy Nexus or save your language setting on our website, as these functionalities require cookies to function.
