Opt out of Tracking

This blog and other related websites use a Matomo instance for analytics, hosted on my Hetzner VPS. The tracking method does not use any cookies. No data is sent to third-party services (e.g. Google Analytics, …). No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected.

If you have “Do not Track” enabled in your browser, it automatically stops tracking you. If you do not have that option enabled, you can opt out by clicking on the following checkbox:

(If you don’t see any checkbox, the Matomo instance might be blocked by an Adblocker. In this case, no tracking data is collected.)

The collected data is used to see which pages are being accessed. The following data is being collected:

  • IP address with 2 bytes masked (e.g. 192.168.x.x)
  • Information sent by the browser (device type, OS, browser vendor, resolution)
  • Referrer data

All raw request data (i.e. not aggregated) is deleted after 180 days. Aggregated data is deleted after 12 months.
