Web analysis

1. Visitor Analytics
The "Visitor Analytics" tool is used on our website. Visitor Analytics is a simple website analysis service that records data traffic on our website and general information about website visitors. We collect statistics, e.g. which pages the visitors visit and when, where they are roughly, where on the website they land first, or whether they come from a specific referrer, in order to improve the experience of our website visitors.
As a website operator who uses Visitor Analytics, we process information about the device type and the screen size / resolution of our visitors, the approximate location, the browser, the operating system, the page visits, the bounce rate, the conversion rates, the conversion funnel, the average sessions per visitor , the average pages per session, the average session length, the time spent on the website and the preferred content of the website. All of this data is pseudonymized and Visitor Analytics does not use the collected data to identify individual users or to match the data with additional information about an individual user.
We do not use cookies to collect this data. Instead, we use what is known as fingerprint technology, which does not require cookies, files or technologies to be placed on your device. Fingerprint capture relies on the technical characteristics of your device and combines them to identify your device as a unique device and enable reliable analysis.

2. Visitor Recordings
Visitor tracking is an additional feature of Visitor Analytics (described above) in the form of a simple website playback tool that records in statistics where our website visitors have scrolled to and what they have clicked on our website. We can see this information aggregated in reproductions and so-called “thermal images” or interaction maps. Collecting these statistics helps us to make our website more user-friendly and to reproduce and correct technical errors.
As a website operator who uses visitor records, we generally use a section of a tracking code to collect data about the journey of our visitors on our website, which sub-pages they visit, what they clicked on, where they moved the mouse pointer and where they scrolled to . All of this data is pseudonymized and Visitor Analytics does not use the collected data to identify individual users or to match them with additional information about an individual user.
