Analysis of website traffic

In order to continuously improve our website, session data is stored during each visit and anonymised analyses (usage statistics) are compiled for those responsible for the content. The aim is to determine how frequently certain pages are used and whether important information is easy for users to find. The data also provides important information for the technical operation and security of our services.

 

Matomo analysis tool

The website uses the open-source application Matomo for the statistical analysis of user visits. Matomo does not transmit any data to servers outside the control of the City of Linz. Matomo uses cookies that enable a statistical analysis of website usage. To this end, usage information is sent, whilst your IP address is immediately anonymised. Consequently, no personal data is stored for statistical analysis.
