Matomo analytics cookies are: _pk_ref (used to store the attribution information, the referrer initially used to visit the website), _pk_cvar (used to temporarily store data for the visit), _pk_id (used to store a few details about the user such), _pk_ses (used to temporarily store data for the visit) and _pk_testcookie (used to check whether the visitor’s browser supports cookies). These cookies will expire and be deleted after a specific time; see retention periods below.
The collection and processing of your data depends on your consent. In other words: Without your consent, we do not collect and process any of your data. Consequently, the legal basis for the collection and processing of your data is your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can change your mind at any time and, e.g., revoke your consent, e.g. by using our analytics cookies preferences manager. See your rights below. Please note that in some cases our legitimate interests may outweigh your rights, freedoms and interests. In such cases, which will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, the legal basis is our legitimate interest under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Based on your consent, we will collect and process your data as mentioned above. This will only happen in the European Union, i.e. neither we nor Matomo will transfer your data to a third country or process your data in a third country.
In case you consented to the collection and processing of your data, we ensure that your data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage for analytics no longer applies, except in cases where we are obliged by law.

Matomo analytics cookies will be deleted as follows: _pk_ref after 6 months, _pk_cvar after 30 mins, _pk_id after 13 months, _pk_ses after 30 mins and _pk_testcookie immediately.
