Use of Google Analytics
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyse how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transferred to one of Google’s servers located in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated for this website, Google will abridge your IP address within a member state of the European Union or another state party to the Treaty on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be transferred to one of Google’s servers located in the USA and abridged there in exceptional cases. Google will use this information on behalf of the website operator for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to the website operator relating to website activity and Internet usage.
(2) The IP address transferred by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google.
(3) You may refuse to have cookies stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use all the features of this website to their full extent.Furthermore, you can prevent the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being captured and sent to Google, and also prevent Google from processing these data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension. This results in IP addresses being processed in an abridged form, making it impossible to establish a personal reference. Insofar as a personal reference can be made via the data collected, the possibility is immediately excluded and the personal data are thus deleted immediately.
You can prevent the data from being processed by Google Analytics. An opt-out cookie is set which prevents future processing of your data when you visit this website (under this top-level domain and in this browser):
(5) We use Google Analytics in order to be able to analyse the use of our website and to constantly improve it. The statistics that we gain enable us to improve our offering and to make it more interesting for you as a user. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework, for the exceptions when personal data are transferred to the USA. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is GDPR Article 6, Section 1, Subsection f.
