Use of WP Statistics
We use the analysis plugin WPStatistics from Veronalabs (5460 W Main St, Verona, NY 13478, United States) on our website. This plugin provides us with simple statistics on how you as a user use our website.
What is WP Statistics?
This plugin is an analytics software specifically designed for websites that use the WordPress content management system. WordPress helps us to easily edit our website even without programming knowledge. WPStatistics can collect data about how long you spend on our website, which subpages you visit, how many visitors there are on the website or which website you came to us from. No cookies are set by WP Statistics and you cannot be identified as a person by the data collected.
Why do we use WP Statistics?
With the help of WP Statistics, we obtain simple statistics that help us to make our website even more interesting and better for you. Our website and the content, products and/or services offered on it should meet your requirements and wishes as well as possible. In order to achieve this goal, we naturally also need to find out where we should make improvements and changes. The statistics we receive help us to get one step closer to this goal.
What data is stored by WP Statistics?
WPStatistics does not use cookies and the data collected is only used to compile anonymized statistics on the use of our website. WP Statistics also anonymizes your IP address. You as a person cannot be identified.
WPStatistics collects visitor data when your web browser connects to our web server. This data is stored in our database on our server. This includes, for example
- the address (URL) of the website accessed
- Browser and browser version
- the operating system used
- the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
- Date and time
- Country/city information
- Number of visitors coming from a search engine
- Duration of the website visit
- Clicks on the website
The data will not be passed on or sold.
How long and where is the data stored?
All data is stored locally on our web server. The data is stored on our web server until it is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes.
How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
We have now provided you with the most important information on data processing by WPStatistics. Because the plugin does not use cookies and the data for statistical analysis is stored locally on the web server, your data is handled very carefully. If you would like to find out more about WPStatistics, you should take a look at the company’s privacy policy at https://wp-statistics.com/privacy-and-policy/.

Right to object in individual cases
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4(4) GDPR.
