Persistent cookies do not contain any personal information, just a random id generated by Matomo which allows identifying when a user is coming back to the EFCA website; this information will get automatically removed from the user computer after their expiration date.
Note: Institution, city and country origin are determined from the full IP, then stored and aggregated before a mask is applied. EFCA Analytics uses an IP de-identification mechanism that automatically masks a portion of each visitor's IP (Internet Protocol), effectively making it impossible to identify a particular visitor via the sole IP address.
