This site uses Matomo for creating visitor statistics. We host our Matomo instance ourselves, on the same server as this website. With Matomo we gather anonymous data of how people are using this site, e.g. details of page views etc. We do not use statistics to gather personal information of our visitors, and the IP addresses of visitors are being anonymised. The statistics we get help us to optimize the page and to discover errors (e.g. broken links). You can opt-in to your visit being included in the statistics gathering. If you have set the "do-not-track" option in your browser, you need to allow it in the browser settings first.
Additionally, the website is hosted on a Debian server that runs Apache webserver to provide you this website. The server logs usage data in raw format, such as the IP address or browser type. The server logs are to analyse errors on serving the website, in order to maintain the website's functionality.
