Why does the Gipsformerei use an analytics software?
The Gipsformerei der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin analyses the use of this website. This will give it information to improve its website. This is, for example, the knowledge of how often certain contents were accessed or which browser was used to view the website. The Gipsformerei uses the stored data exclusively for statistical purposes. Any other use or disclosure of the data to third parties will not take place.
Anonymized/pseudonymized usage analysis with Matomo (formerly Piwik) and the plugin AnonymizeIP
Gipsformerei uses the usage analytics software Matomo recommended by the data protection officers for the web analytics. By an automatic anonymization/pseudonymization of the IP addresses with the plugin AnonymizeIP, the collected data can no longer be assigned to specific individuals. This excludes the possibility of association of usage data or usage profiles with personal data.
What data is stored using the Matomo usage analytics software?
Every time you access a website on the Internet and call up a file, browsers usually transmit data. From the data transmitted during the visit of this website, the Gipsformerei stores the following information:
- Referrer URL (the forwarding site)
- Anonymized/pseudonymized IP address
- Country of origin
- How long do visitors stay on the website?
- How many visitors does the online catalogue have in a certain period of time?
- How many visitors make a request (conversion rate)?
- Which search criteria are used?
- How often are pages viewed?
- Which objects are viewed most frequently?

If you are not a member of Facebook, it is still possible that Facebook will receive your IP address and store it. If you become a member of Facebook later, Facebook may merge this data. We do not know to what extent Facebook collects and stores further data.
