Analysis tools

12.1. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files which are stored on your computer and make it possible to analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptional cases. However, we have no influence on this. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and Internet usage.

12.4. This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. In this way, IP addresses are only processed in an abbreviated form, which means they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you has a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is thus deleted straight away.
