The Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg uses on its own websites the web analytics service Hotjar supplied by Hotjar Ltd. Hotjar Ltd. is a European company based in Malta (Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe, tel.: +1 (855) 464-6788). This tool allows movements to be traced (so-called heatmaps) on the websites on which Hotjar is deployed. It is thus possible to see, for example, how far users scroll down and what links they click on and how often. The tool also enables feedback to be obtained directly from the users of the website. We thus gain valuable information that helps us to make our websites faster and more customer-friendly. When using this tool, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg pays special to protecting your personal data. We are able to trace which links are clicked on, the history of mouse movements, how far a user scrolls down, the screen size of the device, type of device and browser information, the geographical position (country only), and the preferred language used with our website. But Hotjar automatically hides any areas of the websites that display your personal data or that of third parties, so that this data can at no time be traced. The information generated by the “tracking code” and “cookies” about the user’s visit to the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg websites is sent to the Hotjar servers in Ireland and stored there. This information is not associated with personal data, and Hotjar will not disclose it to third parties. Hotjar offers every user the possibility to disable the Hotjar tool by using the “Do Not Track Header” browser setting, in which case no data will be recorded about the visit to the respective website. This setting is supported by the current versions of all commonly used browsers. For this purpose, your browser sends a request to Hotjar to disable tracking for you as a user. If you use the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg websites with different browsers/computers, you need to activate the “Do Not Track Header” setting separately for each browser/computer.
