Website Analytics

We use Matomo analytics as a usage monitoring tool.

We use Matomo Analytics to anonymously collect information about:

the volume of visitors who visit the site
which pages visitors visit
which links are clicked on the site
where visitors have come to the site from

Matomo Analytics anonymity protections:

IP addresses are anonymised before data is captured
the data retention period is set to the shortest option Google offers, 14 months
if a report is run which uses either the Age or Gender demographic variables, the report will not show:
- any data attributed to someone under 18 years old
- any output which would return a single line result of less than 12 visitors

We use this information to compile reports and help up improve the sites performance and usability.
