On its website, GIZ uses the web analysis service “matomo” (matomo.org) to analyse usage data.
matomo uses cookies to enable a statistical analysis of the use of the Changing Transport website by its visitors. matomo cookies do not contain any information that would enable a user to be identified. Each time a user accesses the Changing Transport website and each time a file is downloaded, data on this process is temporarily stored and processed in a log file. Prior to storage, each data record is made anonymous by changing the IP address.
On the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR in accordance with § 3 BDSG, GIZ evaluates usage information for statistical purposes as part of its public relations work and for the demand-oriented provision of information on the tasks to be performed by GIZ.
The data generated with matomo is processed and stored by ourselves directly on the webhost of this website exclusively in Germany.
Therefore no data is exchanged with matomo.org or any other third party websites or services.
