Use of Google Analytics
Nature and purpose of processing
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (in the following: “Google“).

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the provider of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compose reports about the website activity, and to offer other services in connection with the use of the website and internet to the website provider. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
The purposes of data processing lie in the evaluation of the use of the website and the compilation of reports concerning website activities. Further connected services will then be offered on the basis of the usage of the website and the internet.
Legal basis

You can prevent the storage of cookies with the according setting of your browser software; please note, however, that you may then not be able to use all functions of this website to full extent. You can furthermore prevent the collection of data created by the cookie regarding your website usage (including your IP address) for Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: browser add on for deactivating Google Analytics.
Additionally, or as an alternative to the browser add on, you can stop tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking on this link. An opt out cookie will then be installed on your device. This will prevent collection for this website and this browser by Google Analytics in future, as long as the cookie is installed on your browser.

If you do not agree with the allocation to your Google account, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website.
