(6) Use of Matomo for Analytics (Cookie-Less Tracking)

We use Matomo, an open-source analytics tool, to collect anonymous information about how users interact with our website. This data helps us improve the user experience. Matomo operates in a cookie-less mode, meaning that no tracking cookies are set on your device. Instead, it uses IP anonymisation and collects data on the pages you visit and how long you stay on them.

While we do not use cookies, we may collect geolocation data based on anonymised IP addresses. The IP address is anonymised by truncating the last byte of the address, which helps protect your privacy while still allowing us to understand the general location of our users (e.g., country, city). This data is aggregated and anonymised to prevent the identification of individual users.

No Personal Identification:
Matomo’s cookie-less tracking does not allow us to personally identify users. The data collected is used solely for analytics purposes and is anonymised to protect your privacy.

‍

(7) Right to withdraw consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time when you have given your consent for a specific type of processing. If you withdraw your consent, we will stop processing your personal data for the purpose for which you had given your consent and will erase the personal data that was being processed only on the basis of consent

You may withdraw your consent in the following ways:

1. By unsubscribing from the newsletter by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” button at the bottom of the emails
2. By sending an email to info@imperativespace.com
