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.
