1.1 Google Analytics

This website uses "Google Analytics", a web analytics tool provided by Google LLC.

Responsible entity for users in the EU, the EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Google Analytics uses cookies that provide insights into your use of our websites. The information collected by these cookies about your use of this website is or can be transferred to a Google server in the USA and kept stored there. We use Google Analytics by application of an anonymized IP address in the process.

With IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in in very occasional circumstances the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA to be shortened there.

According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

By Google Analytics we can statistically analyze the use of our website for a given time but cannot draw any conclusions about a specific person and their user behavior. We need this information for the continuous improvement of our services and optimization of marketing (purpose).

During your website visit, your user behavior is recorded in "events", such as visiting time, page views, click path, scrolls and interactions. Google Analytics also records your approximate location (region), IP address (in shortened form), technical browser information, internet service provider and referrer URL.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on your system. In addition, a cookie set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

To do so, you must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection.
