Federal Statistical Office Enhances Website with Matomo Web Analysis

The Federal Statistical Office's website utilizes the Matomo web analysis service, provided by Microsoft Office 365, to optimize its usage. Matomo, operated by 'ITZ Bund', collects data with user consent, ensuring compliance with GDPR and TTDSG.

Matomo generates a unique fingerprint for each user, combining IP address, visited pages, referrer, time spent, and access frequency. This information aids in understanding user behaviour and improving the website's performance.

The service sets a 'matomoTracking' cookie upon execution of the 'matomo.js' script. User consent serves as the legal basis for this data processing. The office's privacy policy, accessible via the 'Rights of data subjects' link, outlines data controllers, protection officers, data types, legal bases, recipients, and user rights.

The Federal Statistical Office's use of Matomo for web analysis is transparent and compliant with data protection regulations. Users can learn about their rights and the processing of their personal data through the provided privacy policy.
