We use Matomo web analytics to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the FRA website.
Matomo is an open-source analytics platform which fully is controlled by FRA. This platform enables the protection of end-user personal data thanks to features such as IP address de-identification. On top of that, the FRA has created a feature to manage users’ consent to the collection of users’ browsing experience for anonymised statistics.

Matomo is configured to store first-party cookies.
Cookies (from Matomo) enable FRA to track the following information about visitors. We use this information to prepare aggregated, anonymous statistics reports of visitors’ activity:
FRA retains full control of the data collected through first-party cookies by storing the data in servers fully owned and controlled by the Agency itself.
Besides some session cookies, a random ID persistent cookie is generated by Matomo, which allows FRA to identify when a user returns to the site. This cookie has an expiration date of 13 months, after which it is automatically removed from the user's device.

By default, the browsing experience of our website visitors is NOT tracked by FRA nor by any third-party. You may, though, choose to consent to contributing your browsing experience on our website for us to produce anonymised statistics or to accepting third-party cookies to enable you to watch embedded YouTube videos on our website.
If you enable the Do Not Track option (see below for an explanation) in your web browser, we will respect your choice and your browsing experience on our website will not be tracked for our anonymised statistics.
If you have not enabled the Do Not Track option, we will provide you with a cookie banner to make your choice and install a cookie called “eu_cookie_consent” to keep track of your choice. If you consent to analytics then Piwik is activated and some relevant cookies are loaded. You can always decide to withdraw your consent or consent again at any time on this page.
The “eu_cookie_consent” is a session cookie: if you close your browser and if your Do Not Track option is not enabled, you will be prompted with the cookie banner again to renew your choice.
In case you have disabled all cookies, you will be prompted with the cookie banner at each visit of our website.
If you wish to consent to (or withdraw your consent from) analytics and third-party YouTube cookies:
Do Not Track is a function that allows visitors not to be tracked by websites. Do Not Track options are available in a number of browsers including:
Firefox
Internet Explorer
Chrome
Safari
Opera
All analytics data communication is encrypted via HTTPS protocol. The analytical reports generated by Piwik can only be accessed by authorised Agency staff dealing with Matomo or by duly authorised external sub-contractors, who may be required to analyse, develop and/or regularly maintain certain sites.
Note: institution, city and country of origin for statistical purposes are determined from the full IP, then stored and aggregated before a mask is applied. Matomo 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 FRA website visitor via the sole IP address.
Matomo automatically deletes visitors' logs after 54 weeks. Anonymised and aggregated data are stored for an indefinite period by FRA for analysis purposes.
FRA is active on five social media platforms. Our presence in the Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn communities strengthens our online presence and visibility.
