Privacy policy for the use of Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

In the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/ .html bzw. unter https://policies.google.com/.

We would like to point out that the code "anonymizeIp" has been added to Google Analytics on this website in order to ensure the anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

We also use Google Analytics to analyse data from Google Ads and the Double Click cookie for statistical purposes. If you do not want us to do this, you can disable it via the Ad Preferences Manager (https://myadcenter.google.com/home?hl=de&sasb=true&ref=ad-settings).
