Artenda uses Matomo with the setting "Anonymize Visitors' IP addresses" to ensure that the privacy of the Users is protected. This means Matomo stores in the database each new visitor IP address (ipv4 or ipv6 format) with the last two bytes (e.g. 172.188.xxx.xxx) removed to protect the User’s privacy. 2.2 Matomo Opt-Out Here you can refuse to be tracked by our web analysis service Matomo: 2.3 Google Analytics Artenda uses Google Analytics software.
