Analysis services

Koko analytics

Koko Analytics is a privacy-friendly analytics plugin for WordPress. It does not use any external services, so the data about visitors is never shared with third parties.

Furthermore, no personal data is collected and visitors can easily prevent tracking by activating “Do Not Track” in the browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.
