Google Analytics
For legitimate purposes of the optimization and analysis of our online offerings (within Art. 6 para. 1 lit f DSGVO), we use the “Google Analytics” service that is offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Analytics uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your device.

Anonymous IP addresses are used on this website. The user IP address will be reduced within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area as well as in other states that have signed the agreement. This reduction eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. Only in rare individual cases is the IP address initially transferred unabridged to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. The user’s IP address provided by the browser will not be combined with other data stored by Google.
We have established a “Contract Data Agreement” with Google Inc. As part of the agreement, this information that is collected will be used for the evaluation of website activity and will provide services associated with Internet use.
The data collected by Google on our behalf will be used to evaluate the use of our online offerings by individual users. For example, it is used to generate activity reports on the website so we can improve our online functionality.
You have the option to prevent the storage of cookies on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all features of this website without restriction if your browser does not allow cookies.
